We’re pleased to announce the re-signing of Sean C (Sean Matthews) and LV (Levar Coppin), who collaboratively make up the production crew Grind Music Inc.. The hits these guys have amassed over the past few years, is as impressive as anyone. The extensive list includes, Fat Joe, Fabolous, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Ghostface, Ice Cube, Mary J Blige, Jadakiss, Jay-Z, and more. We’re happy to continue and expand our relationship with Sean and LV. Their works are administered through their For My Son Music(Ascap) and Wait That’s Mine Music (BMI) catalogs.

R&B sensations, Ahmir (‘The #1 Most Popular R&B Group on Youtube’), have renewed their Worldwide Administration deal with The Royalty Network, Inc. From the streets of Boston, Philadelphia, and New York, AHMIR is the premiere, up and coming male R&B group. Coming onto the scene a few years ago, their first single "Welcome To My Party" peaked at number 82 on the Billboard Hot R&B / Hip Hop Songs chart and became the number 19 Top Selling R&B Hip Hop Single. Recently, you may have seen AHMIR win the R&B group competition on BET’s number 1 rated TV show 106 & Park or as a Top 35 finalist on NBC’s hit summer show “America’s Got Talent”. The group’s popularity has catapulted them to performances in U.S. arenas such as the TD Banknorth Arena in Boston, MA, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA and the XL Arena in Hartford, CT. Further solidifying their growing popularity, AHMIR is THE MOST POPULAR R&B GROUP on YouTube garnering millions of video views through their unique covers and remixes.

We’ve recently renewed our long standing Sub-Publishing relationships with Misty Music (covering Scandinavia) and David Gresham Music (covering South Africa). Both have proudly represented our catalogs for many years, and continue to do a great job.
