Wilson told Briefly News what this partnership means for them and how Speedsta's massive stance in the industry opens doors for growth.
"Speedsta signed a distribution deal with us in 2021 when we were still operating as Ingrooves, and his catalogue has been with us since.
"This is a very special signing because it isn’t just a renewal of his distribution but a partnership with Virgin Music. Speedsta is so important to hip-hop culture, and you could feel his absence the last few years while he was focussing on some of his non-musical projects."

"Once my full rollout for my album has been executed, I’ll be signing 2 new artists in the new year under the label. I’m finally taking up a A&R a record label approach. Putting other artists on and just owning all my properties."
Waide Lemos from Virgin Active told Briefly News that Speedsta's upcoming song with Blxckie will combine Amapiano with Latin sounds.
