About 21st Hapilos Digital Distribution

21st Hapilos Digital Distribution is the distribution arm of Hapilos Entertainment Group and is the cornerstone on which the company was formed in 2009. Before 21st Hapilos, there were no major digital distributors for Dancehall music, except for VP Records. 21st Hapilos Digital Distribution emerged from the need for an avenue for local music to tap into the international market. The distribution of music was evolving and 21st Hapilos saw digital distribution as the future of music distribution. The company’s goal is to open up markets and help take Reggae and Dancehall music to a place where it has never been taken before while administering the services needed by the clients to facilitate that journey. 21st Hapilos has evolved over the years to include its own record label 21st Hapilos Productions that was established to produce and create quality music and videos.
