The SLR Story: Blending Mid-South Roots with Global Web3 Innovation

The Finest LLC, DBA So Litty Records (SLR), is a multi-faceted music and entertainment collective committed to creating a thriving, artist-centered ecosystem.

Our foundation began with the establishment of The Finest LLC in Ohio in December 2018. This entity later amalgamated with the So Litty Records crew, which had strong roots in the Mid-South/Memphis, TN region. This collaborative beginning laid the groundwork for our current identity as a Global Collective with Mid-South Roots [Query, 195].

Music | Entertainment | Multimedia

Our core mission is to empower artists and revolutionize music distribution by combining creative output with cutting-edge blockchain technology. We operate across both worlds:

Traditional Music: Providing professional production, distribution, and publishing services to capture comprehensive royalty streams (Mechanical, Performance, and Sync Royalties) through established organizations like The MLC, SoundExchange, and PROs (ASCAP/BMI).

Web3 Innovation: Leading the development and implementation of music NFTs (such as JukeBoysNFTs and MolezNFTs), supporting technical infrastructure via the SLR Stake Pool, and actively pioneering transparent rights management through the CIP-60 music metadata standard.

The SLR Music Vault: Streaming Revenue Meets Blockchain Ownership

So Litty Records maintains a prolific and professional output, currently working to distribute a large catalog. Our releases follow a rigorous internal production and publishing workflow, ensuring every track is ready for both global streaming and verifiable blockchain ownership.

Explore our music across two dynamic distribution paths:

I. Legacy & Streaming Catalog (Web2)

Access our full library of albums, EPs, and singles on major Digital Service Providers (DSPs) such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. We maintain a prolific output, currently managing a large catalog that includes over 193 projects in progress, ensuring a constant stream of new music for our audience. Each track, featuring core artists like Kaveli, Teezy, Hakim Harmony, DJ Dethlord, and Richy Lifty (Smazackie), is professionally managed and registered for comprehensive royalty collection via our exclusive publishing administrator, The Psyence Lab LLC.

This rigorous process ensures we capture all four major revenue streams associated with musical works and sound recordings. This includes Mechanical Royalties (for digital streaming/downloads, collected via The Mechanical Licensing Collective [MLC] and the Harry Fox Agency [HFA] for ancillary rights), Performance Royalties (collected by PROs like ASCAP and BMI for public airplay and live venues), and Synchronization (Sync) Royalties (generated from placements in TV, film, commercials, and video games). Furthermore, SoundExchange is utilized to collect digital performance royalties specifically for the sound recording (master track).

II. Decentralized Distribution (Web3)

Experience the future of music ownership and community engagement through our blockchain releases:

The JukeBox Elite Series: Our flagship initiative features a new artist track every five days, coinciding with the Cardano Epoch cycle. Each release is a dual token mint—a limited-edition NFT and fungible tokens—providing a low barrier to entry for fans.

Distribution Modes

Select Your Mode: Legacy Revenue or Legendary Ownership

So Litty Records empowers artists and producers with a complete service pipeline, enabling you to succeed in both the established music economy and the revolutionary world of blockchain.

I. Legacy Mode: Maximize Traditional Profit Streams

We handle the complexities of the "old industry" to ensure you retain maximum compensation. This includes professional post-production and full rights administration for long-term revenue.

Music Production & Post-Production: We provide end-to-end support, including mixing, mastering, beat selection, and recording.

Global Distribution: We manage release logistics across major Digital Streaming Platforms (DSPs) like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.

Full Royalty Management: Through our partner, The Psyence Lab LLC, we register your compositions with the essential organizations—including The MLC, Harry Fox, SoundExchange, and PROs (ASCAP/BMI/SOCAN)—to collect mechanical, performance, and synchronization royalties worldwide.

II. Legendary Mode: Decentralized Ownership and Transparency

Step into Web3 where your music assets (sound recordings) are tokenized, ensuring transparency and enabling direct fan engagement.

NFT Creation & Minting: Monetize your work via NFTs, leveraging our expertise with projects like JukeBoysNFTs and the Polygon-based Molez/Wormz collections.

Transparent Royalty Infrastructure: We actively pursue the use of smart contracts to automate royalty payments, substantially reducing the high administrative overhead (typically 12–18%) consumed by traditional PROs.

Standardized Rights: We are leaders in implementing CIP-60 v3—the Cardano Improvement Proposal for standardized music metadata—to guarantee clear, verified, on-chain ownership for every track.
