The new model seems to be working, at least for the artists. Love Letters Ink’s first release came in the form of an EP made with Mississippi rapper Big K.R.I.T.

Released as the Wuz Here Sessions, the label sold 250 vinyl copies of the album, all carefully assembled by the Love Letters Ink crew following the label’s South by Southwest showcase featuring K.R.I.T. last spring. Last month, K.R.I.T. released an EP on Def Jam.
