HipHop Is Music' talents.

The new additions to the label in 2006 are:
- Big Rec
- Sharlok Poems
- Sivion
- Sojourn
- Surreal and DJ Balance
- Theory Hazit

The year 2006 has seen the release of:
1. Various - Heavy Rotation volume 1
2. Sivion - Spring of the Songbird
4. Braille - Box Of Rhymes (Japan)
5. Braille - Box Of Rhymes (vinyl single)
6. Surreal - Future Classic
7. Braille - Sonset (vinyl single)
Mixtapes
On March 26th, 2007 it was announced that every month the
label will release an exclusive mixtape or instrumental
project from Hiphop Is Music affiliated artists. Most of
these releases are limited to 100 or 200 copies only.
The first mixtape is Theory Hazit's mixtape ?The Special
Education of Theory Hazit? (March 2007).
The CD's are only for sale at Hiphopismusic.com.
Distribution
The album "Extra Credit" of Theory Hazit (May 2007) is the
first HipHop Is Music record to receive an "international"
release, through a partnership with GrooveAttack for Europe,
the United States and Canada. The label has also partnered
with companies in Japan (River City) and South Africa to
assure that this album gets good promotion and distribution
in those territories.
The IV
For Braille's fourth album "The IV" (2008) the label HipHop
Is Music joins forces with Syntax Records/Koch Distribution
for the North America release of the album. Other
partnerships are P-Vine (Japan), CVibes (Australia) and Fat
