How it all began
Mixtape Madness first began as a passion project between a group of friends with the aim to create a safe space for young people to share their music online. Inspired by an array of artists on their estate, the CEO’s found a gap in the market that couldn’t go missed!
Having accumulated a boast-worthy reputation, the developing platform was shortly labelled as Mixtape Madness by their community and was soon adopted as the company's name. In becoming the go-to home for UK mixtapes, Mixtape Madness was dubbed as the British alternative to the likes of DatPiff.
Over the years, it has grown into a music discovery platform that has become a paramount infrastructure for empowering emerging artists within British Rap and the surrounding sub-genres.
Having played a leading role within music discovery, talent acquisition and content curation for UK artists, they are now thoroughly woven into the fabric of the UK's youth culture.
In recent times, this has been showcased via an assortment of profound talents including M Huncho, Digga D, KO, Kilo Jugg, SL, Abra Cadabra, Rushy, J Hus and Headie One at the early stages of their careers.
