Original Report By Allhiphop
Co-Founder of Public Enemy and Hip Hop Legend Chuck D has announced the launch of a new company who’s goal is to revolutionise the way Hip Hop conducts business across the world.
According to Allhiphop, the new company called ‘The Bring The Noise Eastlink Media, Management, Music Group (BTNEastlink) will offer artists a range of business and digital services.
Under the leadership of Chuck D, lawyer and digital media consultant Dan Lugo and Gary G-Wiz (producer), BTNEastlink will house the Slamjamz Record label and divisons to handle artist management, marketing, consulting, video game scoring among other services.
Chuck D told Allhiphop
“Basically, it’s like putting all my diversified people under one roof … A lot of door knocking internationally will take place. Urban has sensibilities that are definitely planetary. But the discussions have to be more intense and more elaborate.”
The Hip Hop legend went on to say that BTNEastlink will offer its clients “what Live Nation has promised Jay-Z, to a much lesser degree,”
The Hip Hop pioneer also hopes to revolutionise the current business model Hip Hop currently works under, something Chuck D and long-time have already done with SlamJamz Records.
“Business could stand, in Hip-Hop, to be a little more organized and less cut-throat … I’ve seen some individual achievements over the years that basically did not look back or did not pave the road for other ways to follow. That doesn’t work worldwide. Domination does not help here. The NBA has 30-some odd teams, and the NFL has 30-some odd teams that all need each other to exist. In Hip-Hop, I’ve often seen that, if this was a Thanksgiving table, everybody got food all over their face, scrambling and running out the back door with the turkey.”
