Through the Weed Service, Afrikool Records can sell their music from their own website, and also embrace peer-to-peer networks as a safe, efficient and secure distribution channel. "We want music fans to be able to reach our catalog of talented and unique artists through a broad range of services, and we are dedicated to expanding access to our content," said Alain Nkossi Konda, CEO/Founder of A.M.P. "We are very excited to be working with Weed and beAudible.com, as it is clear that this alliance will help us connect directly with our audiences and create a more vibrant website which is consistent with the vision we and our partners share for Afrikool's growth well into this 21st Century.

The alliance further beAudible.com's commitment to an openess to diverse musical horizons. "This is an exciting partnership between Afrikool Records and beAudible.com," said Sigmund Elias Holm, Founder of beAudible.com. "Alain Nkossi Konda and his team have great experience when it comes to discovering rising stars and developing artistic collaborations between various musical expressions. I look forward to distributing some great Afrikool music through the Weed Service," Holm continued. "The whole point is promoting and selling unique music where the dedicated listeners and fans are. There's a market for every independent label and artist to sell their music from their own website. Why should they direct fans away from their website when they can sell their own music on the spot?"
