The Resource Music Group LLC is a digital music record label based in Atlanta, GA. An independent record company that specializes in hip-hop music. Founded in 2001, the label has represented the cutting-edge of independent hip-hop music for more than 20 years. Having experienced several successful releases in the 90’s & 2000’s, after the dynamic shift in the music industry, the label became inactive to restructure the brand to properly fit its business model into the digital music landscape.

Essentially, this move enabled the music label to adequately support the digital ecosystem in today’s music streaming industry.
