Hypertek Digital is a Lagos-based Nigerian record label founded in 2013 by recording artist Innocent "2Baba" Idibia (2Baba/2face). It is 2Baba’s own imprint, releasing his catalogue alongside a small roster that includes Sir Victor Uwaifo, Dammy Krane and Rocksteady. Publishing on the catalogue was placed with Sony/ATV in September 2020, and 2Baba’s management moved in-house to Hypertek Digital in March 2024 after he ended a twenty-year management arrangement with Now Muzik.

960 Music Group bought close to 40 per cent of Hypertek Digital in 2013, alongside a matching stake in fellow Nigerian label Aristokrat Music, according to a contemporaneous Nigerian trade report. That report did not state a currency for the reported purchase price, and no Nigerian corporate registry filing confirming the stake’s current size has been located. Who holds the remaining majority of Hypertek Digital has not been established from a public source.
