NEW YORK - Nyenta -- Michael DeBarge's Midtown Radio acquired Thomas Bagu's Hoodnutz Magazine in a deal which will bring in Bagu a total of $200,000 in the last week of 2021. In an era where physical print magazine sales are at their lowest, Bagu's "Hoodnutz" brand thrived independently. The California based Magazine was entirely focused on HipHop artists from the cities of L.A. and Fresno. It's core sales base came from word of mouth and a few local store chains Bagu was impressively getting away with a $30 dollar per copy price tag and a 97% sell out rate. This activity caught the interest of Michael DeBarge & Daimen Carter of MidtownRadio.co who made the 6 figure offer. MidtownRadio.co is best known for their work promoting records for Elvis Presley, UTFO's Doctor Ice, 2x Grammy Nominee Skee-Lo. However the company has shifted gears in recent years, securing more Billboard and BDS radio placements for 100% indie artist such as (Actor/Musician) Corey Feldman. Felman's work with Michael DeBarge lead to a national tour, Major Network television appearances, four DRT charting records and two songs even cracked the Billboard top 40. The company has since become one of the industry's top choices for indie artists and indie labels.
