About Us

Emerald City Creative Entertainment (ECE) is an independent hip-hop empire founded in 2015 with one unbreakable rule: artists own their shit.

No major label chains. No perpetual master grabs. No 360 deals bleeding your touring, merch, or publishing dry. Every creator signed to ECE keeps 100% ownership of their masters from day one. We only recoup actual costs we front (mixing, mastering, videos, marketing runs) – no inflated bullshit. Once that's paid back, it's fair splits on everything: streams, syncs, sales, and more. You walk away with your catalog, your brand, your generational wealth. Period.

We built this from the Seattle underground because we've seen the other side – artists grinding lifetimes while execs yacht off their work. ECE exists to flip that script: real stories, raw energy, full control. From MellyMac's founding heartbeat and his electric first headliner "Trap Mac" (April 6, 2016) to Rude Voo's Louisiana heat and every fire spitter joining the roster, this is about elevating culture without selling souls.

Now in 2026, the relaunch is here: remasters flooding platforms, the Boise Creative Space fortress breaking ground January 15th (10k+ sq ft of pro studios, stages, content suites), and three simultaneous theatrical tours loaded with custom setups, stunts, and pyro.

This isn't a label. It's a movement. Artists first. Independent forever. The empire rises.
