SpearRecords

Curated releases. No filler.

We work with a small roster, long timelines, and uncompromising art direction — distribution and marketing treated as craft, not templates.

About

The label as filter.

Spear Records exists to protect a point of view. We sign artists who already sound like themselves — then sharpen the narrative, the visuals, and the path to audience with the same discipline we apply to mastering and metadata.

We are not a volume play. Releases are spaced, campaigns are considered, and every touchpoint is aligned with the work. If it does not hold in silence, we do not ship it loud.

Spear Records
  • Mission

    Build sustainable careers for artists whose work demands context — not algorithms alone.

  • Vision

    A catalogue that reads like a magazine: coherent, cold, precise, and impossible to mistake for anything else.

  • Position

    Underground in posture, international in infrastructure. Italy-anchored, internet-native.

Roster

Artists we stand behind.

Hip-hop · Rap

predayed

Relentless single and album cadence with a sharp, internet-native voice. Breakout traction on tracks like “slim body bitch” and “mr popular,” with a catalogue that stays lean and loud.

Spotify →

Hip-hop · Alternative

babyteen

Restless hooks and heavy low end across mixtapes and LPs — from “schizo” to the BABYTEEN SOUND volumes. Built for replay and club translation without sanding off the edges.

Spotify →

Hip-hop · Rap

ocelot

Melody and menace in the same breath — “everyday is the same shit” scale streams with a catalogue that flips between anthemic cuts and stranger, slower burns.

Spotify →

Hip-hop · Alternative

harle

Raw, confessional writing wrapped in lean production — albums like whore and schizo sit next to singles that read like pages torn from a diary, not a press kit.

What we do

Capabilities.

Everything listed below is executed in-house or with a fixed network of partners under our creative direction — no anonymous outsourcing chains.

  1. 01

    Artist development

    A&R structure, release planning, and sonic identity stress-tested before public-facing dates are set.

  2. 02

    Creative direction

    Cover systems, motion, typography, and campaign look — one ledger, one voice, zero drift.

  3. 03

    Distribution

    DSP delivery, territory strategy, and catalogue hygiene treated as production work, not checkbox admin.

  4. 04

    Marketing

    Narrative-first rollouts: press, editorial, creator seeding, and paid only where it respects the art.

  5. 05

    Rights management

    Registration, splits, and neighbouring rights tracked with documentation you can hand to a lawyer.

  6. 06

    Content protection

    Takedown workflows and fingerprinting aligned with how your masters actually move online.

  7. 07

    Licensing

    Sync and brand use negotiated with clear fee floors and usage boundaries.

  8. 08

    Strategy

    Multi-year arcs: touring, collaborations, and catalogue moments sequenced like a publication schedule.
