A big shout out to Smartlabel for getting us into the web3 world and helping us evolve in the industry. They are great at web3 music distribution and have a strong network. I was so surprised to find out there’s so much more to explore on the market! This is a great platform and I can't wait to keep growing with them. I am very excited for this journey!– Detaro - Rapper
I don't like taking any shortcuts, when injustice is happening I am going to speak up about it. Respect, honor, and integrity are the core of my messages to society. That's why I'm happy to join SmartLabel with Executive Producer Frank Nitty at the lead, to empower artists and create a more fair and just world for creators.– Bellumn - Rapper
What I like about the Smart Label platform is it gives me the options to directly sell my music to my supporters as NFTS, and I hope all my people follow my lead by taking the Blockchain Technology route. Web3 is the Future.– YungGritty - Rapper
Music has always been a great passion of mine and I love what I do. Despite that, something was missing. I wanted to have a direct connection to my fans. I wanted to release my music differently and after a long search I almost gave up. Then I discovered Smartlabel... Smartlabel has helped me enormously with my ideas and with showing me what I can achieve with Music NFTs. My fans are all in for it. This is exactly what I was looking for.– Respectrum - Timo van der Park
My experience with SmartLabel was very good. I booked a call not really knowing what to expect but my release expert was very relaxed. He helped me get the contracts for settling the rights with my co-writer for my newest track. In addition, I got an insight into multiple income streams. I am going to do a NFT drop next month with SmartLabel!– Bucky - Dutch HipHop
