In a partnership between KMG Distribution and The Royalty Network, we have acquired all master and underlying publishing rights to the Norman Feels catalog, representing the next step in a longstanding relationship with Norman Feels’ estate to thoughtfully reintroduce Norman’s catalog in the digital space.
“Everything is Going Our Way”, “You Can’t Stop My Love”, and “Today” are the first three tracks to be released, now available on digital streaming platforms. The release has garnered recent coverage on Billboard’s New Deals Round-Up, A&R Worldwide, That Eric Alper, and more. Digital Music News shared, “with this release, listeners can finally hear the full works behind the fragments that helped shape hip-hop into what it is today.”
Norman Feels’ work quietly left a lasting imprint on hip-hop and modern music culture. Though his recordings circulated for decades solely through samples, Feels’ rich compositions, emotive arrangements, and deep grooves became foundational source material for a generation of producers and artists. Norman Feels’ catalog developed a cult following among collectors, DJs, and crate diggers, being sampled by influential hip-hop artists such as Kanye West, Freddie Gibbs, Nas, Theophilus London, DMX, Ghostface Killah, and more, with his recordings prized for their warmth, musicality, and emotional depth. Despite originally being available in limited pressings, his discography spans multiple releases that blend soulful songwriting with funk-driven rhythms and introspective themes, reflecting both the era in which they were created and a timeless musical sensibility.
With our digital reintroduction of his catalog, new audiences can experience the original works behind some of hip-hop’s most recognizable samples, while familiar listeners can rediscover an artist whose enduring influence has long outpaced his visibility
