Rhythm Vault

Rhythm Vault is a Nigerian music imprint that began appearing in phonogram credits and DSP artist-profile data in 2026, associated with Afrobeats/street-pop artist T.I Blaze (Akintunde Abiodun Timileyin).

Its first confirmed credit is as featured artist alongside T.I Blaze on Boi Roya’s single “Whyne Am” (May 2026). On T.I Blaze’s own single “Chokehold” (released 28 August 2026), Rhythm Vault appears as the headline phonogram rights holder, with the Audiomack copyright line reading “(P) 2026 Rhythm Vault” and T.I Blaze’s Audiomack artist profile listing his label as “RHYTHMVAULT LTD.”

This release followed, by two weeks, T.I Blaze’s public 14 August 2026 allegations that his former label, Dapper Music & Entertainment, had failed to account for revenue and was withholding his catalogue.
