Cash Money

Recently Delasol learned of the parent company to music label Young Money (see 10/22 posting), Cash Money, trailblazing new revenue streams in the book publishing industry. Co-Founder Bryan "Birdman" Williams speaks to an NBC journalist on the new directions the label is taking:



ECONtrepreneurship at it's very best! Taking his own resources and ability, Birdman has used pure grit (and lots of money capital) to create a niche in the (neighbor)'hood fiction and non-fiction literature markets. Per Birdman, the goal is to produce and distribute 5 or 6 books a year. Way to improve your bottom line while creating more entertainment, opportunities and motivation for others, Cash Money!

Birdman and brother Ronald "Slim" Williams intend to sell books at concert venues, thus bringing the two forms of revenue (music and books) under one convenient roof for consumers.From HipHopWired.com:

The first book is scheduled to be launched in February entitled "Raw Law: An Urban Guide to Criminal Justice," written by Muhammad Ibn Bashir. In March, they will release Wahida Clark's "Justify My Thug," a paperback original novel. Cash Money also was able to secure the rights to the memoir "Pimp" by the late Iceberg Slim.

Cheers,
