History
[edit]Plutomania Records (PTMR) was launched on October 17, 2023, as a joint venture between Nigerian singer Shallipopi and Dapper Music, an independent music distributor.[4][5] The label specializes in artist management and music production.[6] Alongside Shallipopi, the label signed its first two acts that same year: Zerrydl and Tega Boi DC.[7]
In November 2023, the label released its debut album, Presido La Pluto.[8] This was followed by Zerrydl's debut extended play, Danger Zee, in December 2023. In April 2024, Plutomania Records released Shallipopi's second album, Shakespopi. The following month, PTR released Zerrydl's second EP, Wara Wara Szn. In September 2024, Shallipopi signed Reehaa, a female singer, as the label's fourth artist, and released her debut EP, Ajala, later that same month.[9]
In November 2024, Shallipopi's Plutomania Records (PTMR) parted ways with Dapper Music, ending their distribution partnership.[10]
