Nigerian handsome famous singer Dapo Oyebanjo, whose stage name is D’banj has just signed a global distribution deal with Priority Records which is an American record label that changed the music industry by pioneering distribution deals with artist-run companies.
Priority is known for many highly successful artists
including Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Master P, Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg. It also distributed
hip hop record labels including Death Row Records, No Limit Records, Roc-A-
Fella Records, and Wu-Tang Records.
The new deal Koko master signed will allow talented artists
in Africa that are subscribers to the Creative Reality Entertainment Arts and
Music Digital Platform (C.R.E.A.M.) to now have access to global distribution
through Capital Records, parent company of Priority Records; by D’Kings Men
Media Limited (DKM), parent company of D’CREAM Records.
In an accomplished and excited mood, D’banj said:
“I am so humbled! A dream that started on paper has finally come to fruition. Africa is the future of the world,” said D’Banj. “A year ago, I launched a platform to help creative talents find their dreams across Nigeria. The platform was developed by Africans, for Africa, to showcase artists across the world.It is testament to what I always say that, content is the New Crude Oil”, he added.
The deal comes just after the recent 130-million dollars
valuation of the one-year-old C.R.E.A.M Platform by one of the World’s leading
auditors, KPMG.
D’CREAM Records is hitting the ground running with the deal
as it releases D’Banj’s most anticipated fourth studio album ‘King Don
Come’.
