BORN ON THE BLOCK. TIED TO NO ONE.

The sound of the block, the talk of the world.

4HOOD is an independent music company born out of Turkish street and hip-hop culture. We develop artists, connect records with the right crowd and run campaigns from the ground up. All of it with open books, at the same table as the artist.

FROM THE GROUND

The block hears it first, the charts catch up later.

Since 2023, the records we've released with Sin4Hood, Talha Eren, Xawox, Salii838 and more carry the 4Hood Music Group name. We let the work speak, not the numbers — and we still drop by the block.

SAME TABLE

A contract gets signed once, the books open every month.

“We built 4HOOD to be the opposite of the companies that once turned us away at the door. Here the artist isn't a guest but the host: they set the table, we serve.”

— 4HOOD Founders

Four house rules:

  1. 1. YOUR MASTERS

    The recording stays in your name.

    However long the deal runs, the masters stay with the artist; we only license distribution and marketing.

  2. 2. NO LOCK-IN

    The door swings both ways.

    Every project starts and ends with its own agreement. We sit down again for the next record, with no option clauses tying you up for years.

  3. 3. OPEN DASHBOARD

    You see the numbers when we do.

    Streams, income and spend sit on one live dashboard, so you never wait on report emails or screenshots.

  4. 4. ONE POINT PERSON

    The same person always picks up.

    Every artist gets a crew captain: one name, from the studio to release day, who speaks your language.

Ground + signal

Street instinct, data as the compass.

You can't tell whether a record will land from gut feeling alone, or from data alone. We read the response on the ground together with platform signals: which part gets clipped and shared, which city saves it, which creator's audience it speaks to. We build the campaign around that and keep it alive with weekly adjustments.

Signature over genre

Rooted in the street, bound by nothing.

Drill, trap, arabesk-rap, R&B, electronic, Anatolian psych… There are no labels on our shelves. We listen for a signature you recognise on first play (a tone of voice, an accent, a neighbourhood) and build everything else around it.

RIGHTS & LICENSING

The track travels, the rights stay yours.

The bigger a track gets, the louder the question of who owns what. From sample clearances to writer splits, sync offers to the archive, we sort out the rights side while the record is still in the studio, so nobody is chasing paperwork when success shows up.

SAMPLE CLEARANCE
We clear arabesk and crate-dug samples before release, so no claim ambushes a track on its way up.
WRITER SPLITS
We log lyric and music splits from day one and keep collecting-society registrations complete.
SYNC & LICENSING
We vet offers from series, ads and games and set the terms of use together with the artist.
THE ARCHIVE
Dated copies of every stem, artwork file and contract sit in one archive, so proof is ready if a dispute comes up.

DISTRIBUTION

Cut today, out by Friday.

We run distribution as the rhythm of the campaign, not a separate department. Artwork, credits and ISRCs are ready before the session wraps, and if a snippet catches on in the street, we rewrite the release calendar around it.

From digital stores to short-video platforms, every channel from a single desk.

4HOOD was born where the sound of the neighbourhood still wasn’t taken seriously. Today we bring that sound to listeners in other cities and other languages. The one thing that hasn’t changed is where we start: artist first, street first.

From the hood to the world.
