The Fugees Ring Up New Tracks With Verizon Wireless
The Fugees and Columbia Records have partnered with Verizon Wireless to offer songs from their upcoming album exclusively on Verizon's music service VCast.
While ringtones have been a lucrative business for the music industry for several years now, this is the first time masters to an unreleased album will be released exclusively to a wireless full-song music download service.
Acquiring the exclusive rights to distribute the recently reunited trio's album digitally is a major blow in the battle over the mobile music industry. Verizon competitor Sprint has announced it is making the live performance of The Rolling Stones' Super Bowl halftime show available for download, exclusively at its music store.
In related news, NYC's Hot 97 recently broadcasted live The Fugee's Pre-Grammy performance.
