The Element 9 Recordings Company was established from the
foundation set by hip-hop legend KRS-One. In his proclamation that
hip-hop culture consists of 9 elements, KRS-One identified Element
9 as “Street Entreprenuerialism” or effectively, “the readiness to
engage in the creation of a business venture that brings about
grassroots business practices”.
Element 9, as a company, has set forth to turn this component into
a reality. Our focus is on translating the street hustle of the
hip-hop game into a legitimate business venture to work for artists
who are determined to achieve success in the industry. Our goal is
to work with talented artists at all levels of the music industry,
ultimately grouping gifted new artists with veteran leadership to
effectively rejuvenate the practice of artist development in the
hip-hop industry.
About Our Founder:
At first glance, Stu “DJ Xplosive” Pflaum does not appear to be the
future of the hip-hop industry. The twenty-something from
Cleveland, Ohio could easily be mistaken for an average college
intern. That is until he starts talking about the music industry.
Xplosive is a walking encyclopedia, well-versed not only in the
history of the industry but also fully conversant with the business
strategies that have been successful over the years. Xplosive has
made great strides in the hip-hop industry in a short period of
time, but remains humble by focusing his work to the future. All
the while, industry veterans are studying his every move and
struggling to catch up.
Xplosive got his start as a DJ on college radio and in dance clubs.
He began working with numerous record labels and assisting in their
artist promotions. Through interactions with label reps, managers
and artists, Xplosive was able to gain invaluable insight into the
industry. Being a DJ, Xplosive was focused on breaking new records
for rising artists on campus. He became a hip-hop renaissance man,
working as a booking agent, a manager and a promoter for various
acts in the area, all of which eventually led to the formation of
his own company.
Element 9 Hip-Hop, started in the summer of 2005, is a multifaceted
growing consulting company. By specializing in promotions,
marketing and artist management, Element 9 aids in the development
of rising artists. The company name derives from a proclamation
made by rapper KRS-One about the nine elements of hip-hop culture,
the last one being known as “street entrepreneurialism.” It’s a
fitting title as the company embraces a grass-roots campaign style
that has paid off in unprecedented success. The street-based
emphasis has drawn a groundswell of support from peers from
well-known business entities.
Armed with a degree in entertainment law and management from Ohio
University, Xplosive relocated to New York City - the epicenter of
the music industry. He contributed to the management of street team
promotion and lifestyle marketing for Asylum Records, a division of
the Warner Music Group. His innovative and efficient ideas allowed
Xplosive to pioneer a new system of incorporating street work and
growing technology. Through the use of a photography slideshow
program, street team members uploaded and organized their work
making it easily accessed on the Asylum MySpace webpage.
In early 2007, Xplosive left Asylum to begin working with the
NuBlud Management Company. In conjunction with NuBlud, he utilized
the skills honed through his work in Element 9 to develop a strong
online presence for the company. Xplosive’s burgeoning knowledge of
online marketing became an invaluable tool for establishing and
building the career of Soulja Boy Tell'em.
These days Xplosive is wearing a number of hats in the music
business. He has developed Element 9 Recordings into a full-scale
online community and independent record label with a focus on
artist development, rather than Soundscan and BDS numbers, while
also lending a hand as a consultant to artists at all levels of
success in the music industry. Xplosive’s primary professional goal
is to conquer the digital divide through new strategies that
implement innovative technologies for the promotion of hip-hop
artists.
