Alan Grunblatt, one of hip-hop’s most successful label executives, shared:
“This is the third hip-hop label I’ve launched—Relativity and Koch/E1 helped shape music history, and DNA is already moving faster than either. Dave is the ideal partner—his business savvy and deep love of hip-hop make this venture special. Big thanks to Julian McKee on the A&R side, Andre Howard for marketing, and of course, everyone at Hitmaker. They truly are the best digital company in America.”
Dave Goldberg, who also runs Ewing Athletics Sneaker Brand, added:
“DNA is about more than music—it’s about legacy, innovation, and giving artists the tools to build lasting careers. We’re honored to be working with legends and helping introduce the next wave of superstars to the world.”
Spoken like a true record man, Grunblatt succinctly explains the core value and culture of DNA as a label that will always put talent first: “You never know when the next 2Pac is going to walk into your office.”
