Kevin Liles, 300&#8217;s CEO  and co-founder (along with Roger Gold, Todd Moscowitz, and Lyor Cohen, now <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>&#8217;s Global Head of Music), will take on CEO and chairman duties at Elektra as well, though the two labels will continue to run independently, according to WMG&#8217;s official announcement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            \u201cAt 300, we\u2019re all about freedom \u2014 the freedom to create, the freedom to be intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs, the freedom to make music that changes the world,&#8221; the announcement quotes Liles as saying. &#8220;Independence is in our DNA and the team at Warner is like family, which makes this a natural evolution for us to do bigger family business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            Since its creation in 2012, 300 Entertainent has grown to become a leading force in hip-hop. An early home to Young Thug, 300 is still the parent label for Thugger&#8217;s Young Stoner Life. Its roster also includes Megan Thee Stallion, Gunna, Shy Glizzy, Lil Keed, Fetty Wap, and recent signee Mary J. Blige.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            300 has used Atlantic Records for its distribution since its inception, and Warner&#8217;s announcement states that &#8220;the acquisition represents the expansion of an already successful partnership.&#8221; Even before 2012, Liles had a long-standing relationship with Atlantic&#8217;s current COO and co-chair, Julie Greenwald, who worked with him at Def Jam, where he was president from 1999 to 2004, and at Warner, where he was executive vice president from 2004 to 2009.<\/p>\n<p>            Specifics of the deal are unconfirmed, but a source <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/deals\/warner-music-group-acquires-300-entertainment-2021-12-16\/\">told Reuters<\/a> that WMG paid an estimated $400 million to acquire the label.
