The licensing agreement will allow eMusic to sell songs from TVT’s catalog, which includes over 2,800 songs and close to 200 albums. In addition to the aforementioned artists, the 20-year catalog includes releases from Ja Rule and other genres like heavy metal and alternative.

“We are very proud to associate eMusic, the number one independent music service, with TVT, which is unquestionably the number one independent label,” said eMusic CEO David Pakman via a statement. “TVT has consistently broken important new musical ground, explored musical styles and business models long considered anathema to traditional labels, and defined the independent spirit so essential to growing the music business.

“The addition of TVT’s catalog significantly expands the richness and breadth of our offerings,” Pakman adds. “Nowhere else but eMusic can one find this caliber of artists at the price points we offer-and in a universally compatible MP3 format.”

Some of the 2,800 songs are sure to land on TVT’s forthcoming Crunk Hits, a compilation of some of crunk’s biggest smashes. The 13-track CD features songs from Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz, Three 6 Mafia, Petey Pablo and Youngbloodz, among others.

TVT Records’ Crunk Hits is slated to hit stores November 1st.
