Stephen Orso and Peter Ashley of Loyalty: “Mood” by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior, composed with Kbeazy bring in their artistry Billboard #1

Always keeping an eye toward the future, Loyalty plans to continue to round out its roster with an emphasis on multi-dimensional artists, songwriters, and producers that they believe can achieve the same level of success as their flagship act KBeaZy. With its current momentum, Loyalty Records is without a doubt one of the most promising independent companies to look out for in 2021. 

The two founded the company in early 2019, signing an unostentatious 18-year-old producer from a small borough in Michigan by the name of Keegan Bach (or KBeaZy) to a publishing deal. At the time, the young producer only had meager solvency to his name, but the duo saw his irrefutable potential as both an ingenious and a marque.

Fast forward to 2020, having relocated to Los Angeles and with a few more releases under his belt, KBeaZy began working closely with rising rappers/singers 24kGoldn and Iann Dior almost daily, forming a valued bond that prompt in some of the best music he’d been a part of.

With its current momentum, Loyalty Records is without a doubt one of the most promising independent companies to look out for in 2021. 

As a result, one of the demos that spawned from that time period ended up being the chart-topping single “Mood” released by Columbia Records in July of 2020. The song actually came together quite naturally while the creative crew was just hanging out playing video games one day, when frequent 24kGoldn collaborator, Omer Fedi, picked up a guitar and played around with a riff that caught everyone in the room’s ear. From that moment on, the rest was history.
Yet never being one to settle, KBeaZy has kept his foot on the gas in 2021 where he has landed singles with “Mood” mate Iann Dior (“Holding On”), in addition to a handful of upcoming releases with 24kGoldn, The Kid Laroi and new collaborator Lil Nas X, to name a few. 

In addition to KBeaZy, the promising label/publisher has also inked a publishing deal with instrumentalist Kyle Stemberger who has been behind massive songs such as “Be Honest” by Jorja Smith and “How I Move” by Flipp Dinero featuring Lil Baby, while also developing an artist by the name of YVS Village in partnership with KBeaZy. 

As a result, “Mood” became the most played song at Top 40 radio in 2020, while also setting records as the first song ever to concomitantly chart at number one on the Hot 100, Hot Alternative, Hot Rock, and Alternative, and Hot Rap Songs charts. Mood is still currently on the Billboard Hot 100 charts sitting at #7 with almost a billion streams on Spotify alone, while also having been performed live at the 48th Annual American Music Awards, as well as on prominent TV shows “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and the “Ellen DeGeneres Show”. The song also received a remix by global superstars Justin Bieber and J Balvin and was even used in a McDonald’s Superbowl Ad, solidifying the song’s enormous significance in pop culture.
