Head Concussion Records, owned by Jamaican dancehall, rap and trap producer Tarik 'Rvssian' Johnston, has signed a partnership deal with music giant Interscope Geffen A&M Records.
The wildly successful producer sees this as a step in making his label one that will stand the test of time. He told The Gleaner, "It's a joint venture. Head Concussion Records is now on a major platform. I can sign people directly to my label and Interscope." The partnership is similar to others in the industry, such as Cash Money Record Label's relationship with Universal Records, or Canadian rapper Drake's OVO partnership with Warner Records. These deals take into account royalties, publishing revenues and ownership of masters.
