The Jacksonville, Florida nativa has so far enjoyed a remarkable career as a solo artist, producer and member of The Alias Brothers (formerly known as Asamov), who in 2005 dropped "And Now…" a critically acclaimed album that helped earn the group a spot on URB Magazine’s “Next 100 Artists To Watch For” list in 2006. And in the “Indie Beat” section of December, 2005’s issue of Vibe Magazine the quartet was said to have achieved “a feel-good vibe on its debut via soulful beats, vocal harmonies and doses of humor”. In 2007, Willie released his debut solo album "Communication" under the Rawkus 50 imprint in conjunction with Hip Hop
Hell Records.</span></p>

<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: larger;">iHipHop Distribution has officially launched a self-distribution platform through iHipHopDistribution.com. The site was designed to give independent artists and labels the opportunity to digitally distribute their music worldwide through nearly every major online retailer. Unlike other direct-to-market distributors, iHipHop Distribution offers additional marketing tools such as digital advertising, e-mail blasts aimed at tastemakers and industry professionals, music video servicing to MTV, BET, and Fuse, as well as college radio campaigns, legal counseling, general consulting, and publicity. These marketing services are run by individuals with an extensive grasp of hip-hop culture, as well as expertise in the music industry. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: larger;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: larger;">Members are required to pay a one-time fee for each title uploaded for distribution ($9.99 per song or $49.99 per album), empowering artists and labels by letting them collect full royalties from their music. There are three tiers of service offered by the distributor - Basic, which is solely distribution of a song or album; Premium, which includes additional marketing services designed to increase awareness of a specific project; and Invitation Only in which the company funds the release and takes a hands-on approach to marketing the album. Once music is submitted to iHipHopDistribution.com, members can modify their project’s release date and customize their marketing plan before their music is processed for distribution. </span></span></div>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0px ! important; margin-top: 0px ! important; padding-bottom: 0px ! important; padding-top: 0px ! important;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">*iHipHop Distribution was founded in 2009 in an attempt to provide artists with a new paradigm for distributing not only their music, but their image, brand, content and everything imaginable. Abandoning the traditional model of record labels, iHipHop Distribution established itself as a distributor of culture. As a result, in its inaugural year, iHipHop Distribution was instrumental in catapulting Wiz Khalifa to his second major label deal with Atlantic Records. iHipHop Distribution continued to work with emerging young talent and groundbreaking artists such Smoke DZA, Wu-Tang Clan, Trademark Da Skydiver, Brand Nubian, Marz Lovejoy, and many more. Most recently iHipHop Distribution launched a self-distribution
platform through iHipHopDistribution.com. This innovative platform empowers artists and producers by allowing them to digitally distribute their music worldwide. In addition, iHipHop Distribution offers a myriad of premium marketing services to independent artists, producers, and labels through its rapidly growing platform.</span></p>
