M4 Entertainment

South African imprint credited as the sound recording copyright claimant on Blxckie releases from October 2020 to January 2023, including the album B4Now.

Based in
Johannesburg. The label's social accounts give Johannesburg; an unverified registry aggregator entry gives Germiston, Gauteng., South Africa

M4 Entertainment is a South African recorded-music imprint named in the copyright notice on Blxckie releases issued between October 2020 (“Big Time Sh’lappa”) and January 2023 (“papa fetti”), including his debut album B4Now (2021, certified Gold in South Africa) and its Deluxe edition. Streaming and social profiles associate it with a wider Johannesburg roster beyond Blxckie, including Lucasraps, Christer, Dr Peppa, Skhindi, Dan Duminy, DAS and Courtnae Paul.

No incorporation document, shareholding record or officer has been independently confirmed for the company. A South African business-registry aggregator lists an entity of the same name registered in Germiston, Gauteng in 2016, but this does not match the label’s Johannesburg social presence and has not been verified against a primary CIPC filing, so it is not treated as confirmed here. M4 Entertainment has no confirmed website.
