They’ve worked with artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug, Gunna and Mary J. Blige, as well as Hunxho, Jordan Adetunji and 1900Rugrat.
300 was acquired by Warner Music Group in 2021.

What they said:
Bass and Bouab: “At 300, we’ve always had an artist-first, independent mindset and an entrepreneurial spirit of hustle, grit, and creativity. We’re looking forward to working closely with Elliot and bringing that same philosophy to our new posts – helping unlock even more potential in a label that’s already full of brilliance, passion, and so much opportunity. We will continue our dedication and service to the culture that has birthed some of our biggest stars and raised some of our brightest executives.”
Gaba: “I’m proud of everything we’ve achieved at Atlantic and the way we’ve supported artists and culture. It’s a privilege to continue carrying that mission forward and keep elevating powerful, meaningful music that makes a difference. A big thanks to Elliot and the team for this opportunity.
