Executive Overview & Rights Governance

The BEGE Empire Royalty Administration & Rights Division maintains the highest standard of international copyright compliance, catalog registration, and royalty harvesting for BEGE Empire, operating under parent corporate entities Black Empire Group Entertainment and Black Empire Gang Entertainment. Under the executive direction of founder, lead audio engineer, and sound architect Magical Hakeem, our administration framework guarantees that every musical composition and master recording is fully protected, accurately cataloged, and monetized across all global territories.

We bridge creative sound architecture with rigorous legal and metadata standards to safeguard the intellectual property of our songwriters, composers, producers, and roster artists.

Performance Rights Administration: BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.)

All underlying musical compositions, lyrics, melodies, and instrumental arrangements produced or released under BEGE Empire are formally registered with BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.), one of the world's premier performance rights organizations.

A. Scope of Performance Royalty Collection

Through our direct integration with BMI, we collect global performance royalties generated whenever our catalog is performed publicly, including:

• Digital Service Providers (DSPs): Interactive and non-interactive audio streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, and Audiomack.

• Terrestrial & Digital Broadcast: Global FM/AM radio airplay, satellite radio, and 24/7 rotations on BEGE Radio.

• Television, Film & Streaming Media: Broadcast television networks, cable syndication, streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu), and commercial sync placements.

• Live Performances & Venues: Concert tours, festival mainstages (including BEGE Festival Zanzibar), club performances, and live broadcast events worldwide.

B. Split Sheet Enforcement & Metadata Accuracy

Every recording session conducted through BEGE Empire requires the execution of formal Split Sheets prior to commercial release. We ensure that writer/publisher percentages, legal names, and Performance Rights Organization (PRO) IPI/CAE numbers are accurately submitted to BMI to eliminate unclaimed or frozen royalty black boxes.

Mechanical Licensing Administration: The MLC (Mechanical Licensing Collective)

In full compliance with the U.S. Music Modernization Act (MMA) and international mechanical rights frameworks, BEGE Empire administers all digital mechanical royalties through The MLC (The Mechanical Licensing Collective).

A. Digital Mechanical Royalty Harvesting

The MLC administers blanket mechanical licenses for eligible interactive audio streaming and digital download services. Our active catalog management ensures:

• 100% Mechanical Royalty Capture: Direct collection of mechanical royalties owed to composers and publishers from digital streams and permanent downloads.

• Matched Metadata Protocols: Verifying that all master sound recordings perfectly align with their underlying composition records in The MLC database, eliminating unmatched or misplaced streaming funds.

Universal Code Standardization: ISRC & ISWC Encoding

To maintain seamless royalty flow across international distribution pipelines, performance rights organizations, and mechanical societies, BEGE Empire enforces strict dual-code metadata standards:

• ISRC (International Standard Recording Code): Assigned to every unique sound recording (master track) to track audio streams, sales, and digital usage across DSPs and broadcast networks.

• ISWC (International Standard Musical Work Code): Assigned to every underlying composition (lyrics and musical work) to track publishing rights, mechanical royalties, and performance splits globally.
