"What You Get That a DistroKid Account Never Will"
Distribution was never the hard part. Anybody can upload a file and call it a release. What's rare is the credibility, protection, visibility, and infrastructure around the release — the things that make a song into a career move. That's what ELPD provides.
When your music releases under ELPD Productions, it carries the weight of a Grammy-nominated catalog. Over 25 platinum records. A verified track record across Hip Hop's biggest names.
That résumé is on your release. Not a one-man bedroom operation with a DistroKid login — a label with a real name in the industry.
Your first song released under a new agreement includes full production — beat, tracking, mixing, and mastering — handled at the professional level. Every song after that gets professional mixing and mastering as part of the flat per-song fee. No outsourcing to random freelancers. The same Grammy-nominated ear that worked on platinum records is on your record.
Most independent artists release music with no ISRC codes, no PRO registration, and no split sheets — which means money goes uncollected and rights go unprotected. ELPD handles all of it.
When you sign with ELPD, you get a dedicated, permanently branded Artist page on superproducerself.com — built one time at signing, active for every future release with no rebuild fee and no recurring charge.
TheServiceStation.TV is a 24/7 streaming content network running music, video content, and artist features. Every ELPD release is considered for placement on SSTV — giving your song visibility on a live streaming platform beyond just a static DSP listing.
A DistroKid upload sits in a queue with 60,000 other songs. An ELPD release gets platform placement consideration from day one.
Your music reaches all major DSPs — Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, Pandora, and more — through DistroKid, with ISRC codes embedded and split sheets filed before a single upload happens.
And unlike signing to a label that takes your DSP login and leaves you in the dark, ELPD reports your DSP revenue to you as a separate, named line item — and you can verify it independently through DistroKid's own reporting.
There is no subscription. There is no mystery fee structure. Pick the option that fits how you release music.
No commitment required. Pay per song, release when you're ready.
6 or 12 month exclusive term. Commit to releasing through ELPD and lock in a lower per-song rate — no bundling required.
If your song was completed before signing — produced and financed by Label before this agreement existed — no fee applies. You start earning your 20% royalty share from the first dollar on day one, with no recoupment period.
Pre-existing recordings are sold on ELPD's general artist catalog page on superproducerself.com. You're listed and visible — just not on a dedicated individual branded page.
Your earnings are never blended into one mystery number. ELPD tracks and pays out two separate, named revenue streams — every quarter, every time:
| Revenue Channel | What It Is | Verifiable? |
|---|---|---|
| D2C Net Revenue | Sales from superproducerself.com — direct purchases from fans | ✔ Label sales records |
| DSP Net Revenue | Streaming and downloads from Spotify, Apple Music, etc. | ✔ Your own DistroKid login |
You get an itemized statement showing both lines separately. DSP revenue you can independently verify yourself — you don't have to take anyone's word for it. That's how it should work.
You own a piece of every master recording released under ELPD. That's not a marketing line — it's in the agreement.
| Split | Label | Artist |
|---|---|---|
| Master Recording Ownership | 92% | 8% |
| Publishing / Composition | 85% | 15% |
| Net Revenue Royalty | 80% | 20% |
Label retains operational control — release decisions, distribution, licensing. Artist holds a genuine equity stake in the catalog. No shell deals. No paper percentages that disappear at recoup. Real co-ownership of the work.
A distributor takes your file and sends it somewhere. That's it. It doesn't mix your record, master it, register your rights, build you a storefront, place you on a live streaming network, or put a Grammy-nominated credit on your release.
ELPD does all of that — at a flat, one-time fee per song, with no subscriptions, no recoupment, and no guessing. Your song earns from the first dollar, and it keeps earning long after the fee is paid.
