I'm excited about bringing music by new artists to people fresh out of the studio," T-Pain tells HHNLive.com. "My life and career so far has been about breaking barriers and this label allows me to continue that by delivering hit songs in real time, no red tape, just good music. You'll hear us in the clubs and on radio too, but you can discover our tracks where people spend most of their time, on-line. I'm very proud to be out front on an idea like this."
