88Rising Collaborates With Kobalt Music Publisher

JAKARTA - The 88rising record label has collaborated with a music unicorn startup, Kobalt. This news was first published by Billboard which was then quoted by both parties.

This cooperation will cover all countries, except China. This includes copyright, synchronization, and exclusive rights for artists under 88rising, including Joji, Rich Brian, NIKI, and The Higher Brothers. However, AUGUST 08 is not included in it.
