COMPANY OVERVIEW
The Resource Music Group LLC is an independent record label based in Atlanta, GA. 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 1990’s and 2000’s, after the dynamic shift in the music industry, the label became inactive to restructure the company to properly fit its business model into the changing digital music landscape.
Essentially, this move empowered the music label to adequately support the digital ecosystem in today’s music industry. Our mission is simple yet profound, to give our artists' fans a unique artist to fan experience. We’ve partnered with Direct-To-Consumer music platform EVEN who has revolutionized the way fans can support their favorite artists and how artists can give back to their most loyal fans.
