Business News Deals Digital Labels & Publishers
Rap Genius signs licensing deal with Warner/Chappell
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 7 July 2014
Lyric website Rap Genius has signed another deal with a music publishing firm, this time Warner/Chappell, meaning it now has deals in place with all the major publishers.
As previously reported, following a run-in with the US National Music Publishers Association, Rap Genius signed an agreement with Sony/ATV in November last year, and then with Universal in January.
In a statement last week, Rap Genius co-founder Ilan Zechory said: “WCM’s songwriters are unbelievably popular and Rap Genius will help them connect with their most obsessed fans. WCM dates back more than 200 years – we think this partnership will last at least another 200”.
At least.
