Yo! CoxButter is the brainchild and joint-venture of hip-hop artists Class B and Diddi Felix of Reykjavik’s rap-quintet Forgotten Lores, and multimedia designer Ægir ÆX aka ChillusMaximus.
Our goal is simple; creating a direct and uninhibited access between artist and audience, in the simplest and cost-efficient of ways.
All CoxButter releases will be distributed through our website in MP3 form, totally free of charge. Some might ask themselves how the artist can benefit from giving his records away online for no fee. In our opinion wealth has many faces and where money can not be made other sorts of gain is possible. To create a name for yourself, to catch the ears of the people, to make fans are essential factors for an artist establishing himself and his music a sound foundation.

Unfortunately, artists operating in the marginal regions of the music world, can’t always depend on the latter being available to them.
