Driven by a warm and mutually supportive base of music fans, The DJ Grid has proved to be a blend of top notch creators, celebrity DJs, and music executives under one roof. With a network that produces millions of impressions monthly, The DJ Grid uses modern methods and cutting edge technology to distribute and promote each body of work. 

The DJ Grid is mostly known for their popular compilation series which has dominated the Billboard charts numerous times. They’ve broken records for stars like Missy Elliott, Cam’ron, Sean Kingston, Lil Baby, Ed Sheeran, Damian Marley, and Sean Paul just to mention a few. The DJ Grid has previously released three #1 Billboard albums – including Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica, Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica (Deluxe), and Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica (Reloaded). They’ve also had Top 25 Billboard charting success with their World Hip Hop Compilation series – World Hip Hop Unleashed Vol. 1 & Vol. 2.

The 50/50 album by The DJ Grid was released 4/20 on Walmart.com exclusively and sold out in 24 hours. The coalition linked up with various artists to drop this collaborative album, 50/50. The album was first announced in early 2020 and was distributed three months later. The 50/50 album consists mostly of Hip Hop and Rhythm & Blues songs and the 20-track project marks The DJ Grid’s return, following a short absence in terms of albums releases.

Stefflon Don

British breakout artist Steflon Don released a dope new project titled Secure. As the first British artist to be featured on the Freshman XXL list, she is changing the music culture all across the world.

On this sixteen-track masterpiece, you will hear the MC infusing her British culture with hip hop riffs and island harmonies. Don recruited Future, DJ Khaled, Sean Paul, Popcaan and Fekky who all added sprinkles of magic to her already pure sound.

A masterpiece is not complete without great production. Don nailed it! You will hear beats from 54 London, Leftside, Rodney Kumbriayi Hwingwiri, Rymez & Stephanie Victoria Allen, among other rising producers. This truly is a unique work of art. Secure is a whole vibe and will be lighting up dance floors all across the nation world.

What stands out the most about this project is that each song gives you a different vibe. One minute, you want to break out in a whine; the next you want to turn up in the club. You get the best of both worlds with Don.
