Hapilos celebrate great 2010
Last year was an undeniably good one for the 21st/Hapilos International Digital Distribution company. After introducing what seemed to be a strange and even far-fetched idea to many in the Jamaican music industry - that of selling and properly marketing their music via the Web (digitally) - Johnny Wonder, executive vice-president of the company, can now say the decision to do so was an excellent one.
"What 21st/Hapilos International managed to do was to reintroduce and for some, introduce the idea of properly selling music online to people across the world. In the age of technology, we were happy to be at the forefront of the reggae/dancehall revolution and give our local producers the opportunity to not only gain a wider fan base by having the music available and marketed online, but also the opportunity to gain financially from making music,"says Wonder.
In 2010 alone, the US/Jamaican digital distribution company marketed and sold over 130 rhythms and tracks. They include the smash hit Clarkes by Vybz Kartel and Popcaan, Table Fi Table rhythm produced by Romeich, Chan Dizzy's single Nuh Strange Face produced by Russian, Buju Banton's Things A Come Up produced by Delly Ranx, CR203's Dancehall EFX rhythm, Mavado's Stulla produced by ZJ Chrome, I-Octane's Cyan Do Wi Nuttn produced by Russian, Seanizzle's One Day rhythm and more.
Additionally, Beenie Man and Future Fambo's Rum and Redbull, Khago's Nah Sell Out, also distributed by 21st/Hapilos Digital, were added to the USA's Hot 97's playlist.
Also under the 21st/Hapilos International banner, their artiste, Flexxx's video, Fresh, was nominated for 'Best Video of the Year' on CVM's Hitlist. 21st/Hapilos & Hapilos International are also the promoters of Guinness Happy Thurzdayz at the Kno Limit Sports Bar and Girls Rush, every last Thursday, also staged at Kno Limit
