For decades, access to music catalog ownership — the royalties generated by every stream, every play, every sync — has been locked away in the vaults of major labels and private equity firms. SPNDAT is rewriting this story. We are building the infrastructure that bridges music catalogs and the communities that cherish them, turning passive listeners into active participants.

Founded in 1991, Street Flavor Records is the cornerstone of Nashville's independent hip-hop scene. The label launched careers of Jelly Roll, Haystak, and dozens of iconic artists, selling over 1 million independent records and earning 3 Gold Records.

Visit PropertyStreet Flavor Records was founded in 1991 by Sonny Paradise, a gold record producer and platinum mix engineer who would play a pivotal role in transforming Nashville from a country music town into Music City USA. Over three decades, the label launched the careers of Jelly Roll, Haystak, and dozens of iconic independent artists, selling over one million records and earning three Gold Records.
Today, Street Flavor Records operates under SPNDAT INC., its parent company, and continues to serve as the creative heart of the organization — a living testament to what independent music can achieve.

The global recorded music market generates over $28 billion annually in streaming revenue alone, yet the infrastructure connecting artists, fans, and capital remains fragmented, opaque, and exclusionary. SPNDAT INC. is positioned at the intersection of music technology, blockchain infrastructure, and creator economics — three of the fastest-growing sectors in digital media.
