Rico of Relentless Records: Building a Chicago Powerhouse

Rico, the founder of Chicago-based music label Relentless Records, is leading a movement that is rapidly gaining traction. With 17 dedicated members as part of his brand, Rico is focused on turning Chicago into a powerhouse for signing artists, all while using his personal story as a foundation for the label's growth. Hailing from Chicago, Rico's journey began after he came home from prison. During a three-year period, he learned the ropes of music engineering, landing an internship at Jungle Lords Studio under Jack Russell. He then worked at 1913 Studios with Ocho Mexico and Wally for Urban Grind TV, one of Chicago's major platforms. Teaming up with Ocho, Rico brought together a team of like-minded individuals and solidified Relentless Records as a label to be reckoned with. The label name was coined by Cnote, and the team has been committed to it ever since. The movement at Relentless Records is all about unity. "Every last one of us knows someone who's involved, so instead of going against each other, everyone came to the table to win," Rico explains. Their goal is to make Chicago a powerful hub for music, a place where artists can sign and thrive. Founded in 2020, the movement is grounded in Rico's passion for music. "I love music; it’s so natural to me. I had to make this my career," he shares. Relentless Records uses all major platforms through Roc Nation Distribution to promote their movement. So far, they’ve traveled to Wisconsin, Ohio, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee, spreading their influence and music. Rico proudly mentions their partnership with Roc Nation, highlighting the label's commitment to growing and expanding. The mission of Relentless Records is clear: to become the label of choice for artists wanting to sign in Chicago. "We accept all breadwinners," Rico says, indicating their openness to new partners and talent who are willing to work hard and put in the effort needed for success. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2024, Rico promises growth, expansion, and the release of great music and content. The team plans to travel to Florida, Alabama, New York, Tennessee, California, and Atlanta to bring more awareness to their movement. "Greatness— we don’t have time to be coming short," Rico affirms, emphasizing their commitment to excellence. Rico believes this is the last chance for everyone at Relentless Records to make their mark. "The amount of work we’re putting in can’t be outmatched. If you’re ready to work and willing to put that work in, come tap in with us," he concludes, inviting others to join their journey and be a part of Chicago's next big music powerhouse. www.instagram.com/relentlessrecords_llc

[Video] Magicc "Too Late"

MAGICC UNVEILS NEW SINGLE, “TOO LATE”

“One of the year’s breakout up and coming artist” – ZekeBeats “Unflinchingly honest, earnestly positive, and resolutely single-minded” – AWF DJ Services “Magicc should be a major label signed artist. Top 40 HIT”- Dan Matthews (Klubjumpers)

  13 MAY 2022 (SCOTTSDALE, AZ) – Magicc has unveiled the highly anticipated “Too Late”, the single he has called “Song of the summer” Stream/download “Too Late” HERE.

The release of “Too Late” follows Magiccs’ breakout single and music video “Rewind” which peaked at number 21 on the Top 150 Independent Artist Digital Radio Charts and spent multiple weeks in the top 50 of the same chart (as well as going top 100 globally on DRT Global Chart). Coming off of multiple shows with artists such as Trippie Redd, Soulja Boy and more, Magicc will be killing the stage throughout this coming summer.

Mind catching, soul grabbing and fierce, ‘Too Late’ is an anthem for men and women to reflect on how their actions and bad habits can lead to their spouse being pushed away and finding new love. Written by Magicc – the highly talented artist behind ‘Rewind’ – ‘Too Late’ arrives alongside an iconic video directed by James Karoki AKA JayScribe, who has previously worked with the likes of the New Mexico United Professional Soccer team as a videographer. The video further showcases this talented, increasingly- fearless young artist living out all his wildest super-star-dreams, but in a manner that displays his big heart.

This is an extraordinary journey that Magicc has worked towards his whole life (even dropping out of college two years ago to pursue the goal and follow the journey further). Still aged just 23 years old, the chartting independent artist has already surpassed over 200 thousand combined streams since beginning his music journey.

Out of some troubling times Magicc has fashioned a sensational, boiling hot summer record, a head bopping, energy flowing single, which can sit proudly on a global stage next to The Weeknd, Tory Lanez and Jack Harlow. In mood, if not exactly in sound, it has some of the complete realization and energy as some of the latest The Weekend, work.

Now poised to join the pantheon of international pop greats, his tireless energy, positivity and drive were never going to allow Magicc to settle for anything other than ‘High Expectations’ and ‘High Output”. In years to come watch Magicc meet them and keep reaching higher still.
