“The label was just a group of young artists who grew up in the same neighborhood that have talent and potential decided to unite together and make great musical sounds and projects together.” The young artists making this collective statement are Staten Island rappers Littorious, Estacks Rundown, and Numba 47. Also known as Ahmahd Isaiah Daniels, Elyjia Otis Travis, and Demetri Stanley Jewell, respectively, these three young artists took their careers into their own hands during the last year. Battling to make a name for themselves in the overcrowded hip-hop genre, they founded their own label together to share their talents and collaborative spirit with a greater audience. Thus, in December of 2020, Bag or No Bag The Label was founded.
An independent label and LLC, Bag or No Bag focuses on creating equal opportunities for artists of all genres to find their footing and make their marks in the music industry. Focused strongly on the digital environment of the music industry, the Bag or No Bag founders work extensively to match their artists’ sounds and personas with the right market as directly as possible. With the state of the world as it was in 2020, the digital abilities possessed by Daniels, Travis, and Jewell allowed for them to market their individual and collaborative projects with immense success. Each artist individually has achieved hundreds of thousands of streams, with some tracks even surpassing the million view mark.
Inspired by legends like 50 Cent, Jay-Z, and Drake, all of whom have successfully founded and run their own record labels, the Bag or No Bag team are focused on chasing their dreams and helping fulfill the dreams of other artists with similar mindsets. With the success, they have made for themselves, they are proving to be a viable option for other hopeful artists to pursue.
