<\/blockquote>\n

Why give a major label ownership of your masters and 83% of your royalties for an advance that you could crowdfund yourself? That\u2019s exactly what Chicago rapper Ibn Inglor did for his upcoming DANGER ZONE: The Album <\/em>project, raising $92,000 through his $DANGER token sale from buyers who can now participate in a share of up to 40% of the mechanical royalties generated by the release. Inglor described the independent model as \u201ca way to keep control of the music within the community and myself.\u201d Amen to that. \u2013 Matt Medved<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n
