Get your catalog straight. Own everything you make.
HipHop Planets helps artists, producers, songwriters, and creators organize, register, protect, and monetize their intellectual property — starting with the rights infrastructure the industry never built for them. Stop leaving food on the table.
Most creators can't answer the basic questions: What do I own? Where should it be registered? What money is sitting unclaimed with my name on it? HipHop Planets is building the infrastructure to bring the creator's ownership journey together.
Stage 1 · The wedge · Building now
GET YOUR CATALOG STRAIGHT.
The Rights Registration Engine is TurboTax for intellectual property — one guided workflow that structures your metadata, documents your splits, finds your registration gaps, and builds a persistent rights record for everything you've made.

Built from lived experience
By creators who understand creator economics.
HipHop Planets wasn't conceived as a software exercise. Founder & CEO LaMonte "Duse M'$" Sims built it from years inside music, media, and creator rights — including manually walking creators through the administration the industry never taught them.
"The problem was never the creativity. It's everything between the creation and the check."

Platform
One workflow from creation to ownership.
The Creator Operating System™ connects the whole ownership lifecycle — creation → ownership → registration → administration → monetization → commerce — so the value creators generate flows back to creators.
The flywheel
The ecosystem story, in one loop.
Every stage of the universe powers the next — and the data flows back to make the creator's next move smarter.
RRE
Ownership — the record of who owns what, filed and alive.
Alkebulan
Distribution & community — owned IP gets somewhere to live and circulate.
Commerce — engagement becomes economic activity flowing back to creators.
Imhotep Intelligence Layer™
AI-assisted rights intelligence.
One intelligence layer travels with the creator across the whole system — reading the catalog, flagging the gaps, and matching the opportunities.

About HipHop Planets
A global ownership infrastructure for creators.
HipHop Planets, Inc. is not another label, blog, social network, or streaming service. It's a creator-technology company building the operating system for creator ownership — beginning with rights infrastructure and expanding into media, community, immersive entertainment, and commerce.
The founder
LaMonte "Duse M'$" Sims
HHP comes from lived experience inside music and creator rights — not from a whiteboard. The founder's path runs straight through the problem the company solves:
01 →Artist. Making the work, living the creator's side of the table.
02 →Independent creator. Releasing music and media without the machine.
03 →Music & media entrepreneur. Producing independent entertainment content at scale.
04 →IP-rights experience. Copyright enforcement and rights administration, firsthand.
05 →Manual mode. Personally walking creators through the administration nobody taught them.
06 →The recognition. The infrastructure itself is the problem — fragmented by design.
07 →HipHop Planets. Built to automate and scale the solution.
LAMONTE "DUSE M'$" SIMS
Founder & CEO
Media & cultural traction
Built by creators who understand creator economics.
The HHP story includes producing independent entertainment content that has reached substantial audiences — including a documentary, "Wack100 and the Snitch Allegations," which reportedly generated approximately 3 million views through WorldStarHipHop's website in roughly three days, plus approximately 1 million additional views through WSHH's YouTube presence. That experience — reaching the culture at scale, independently — is the foundation the company is built on.
The mission is ownership.
Create it. Register it. Protect it. Monetize it. Own it.

11:22OP-1Verified BMI affiliation — duplicate-PRO flag cleared
Yes — completely. The engine registers works in your name. HipHop Planets takes no ownership, no publishing share, and no rights in your work. Ever. The authorization you grant is limited to filing and account operations on your behalf, and you can revoke it.
What does the engine actually file?
Copyright registrations (composition + sound recording), PRO work registrations, MLC and SoundExchange claims, ISRC/UPC assignment, and split-sheet documentation — each one disclosed to you before it runs.
Why can I only have one PRO?
U.S. writers affiliate with exactly one performing rights organization — ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC. A duplicate affiliation blocks registrations downstream, which is why the intake verifies yours before anything files.
The AI agent & human operators
Is a robot filing my copyright?
It's a hybrid: the AI agent prepares and fills, and human operators supervise — judgment calls, blocked cases, and verifications are handled by people, and every automated action is logged and reviewable.
Can I see what the agent did?
Yes — the activity feed and the audit ledger record every action: who (bot or operator), what, when, and on which platform.
Fees & payments
Who pays the government filing fees?
You do — they're disclosed up front, itemized before you authorize, and paid to the platform (e.g. the U.S. Copyright Office) on your behalf. Third-party filing fees are set by those organizations, not by HHP.
Are fees refundable?
Once a filing is submitted to a third party, its fee is non-refundable — government offices don't return filing fees. Anything not yet filed can be canceled before it runs.
Data, credentials & security
Where do my platform credentials live?
In the credential vault — segregated storage, never in the app database, every pull logged, audited, and operator-approved. You can rotate or remove credentials at any time.
Your @hiphopplanets.com identity
What's the registry email for?
Every artist gets a registry identity — yours would be like zaria@hiphopplanets.com — where confirmations, receipts, and consent records land. It routes to your real inbox (via Cloudflare Email Routing), it's never sold or mined, and it keeps your registrations under one clean identity.
⚠ DRAFT v0.9 — ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED BEFORE LAUNCH
§1
The Service
HipHop Planets provides a rights-registration workflow: intake, preparation, filing assistance, and monitoring for creative works, operated by a hybrid of automated agents and human operators.
§2
Your Account & Registry Identity
One account per legal person. Registrations file under your legal name; your registry email identity is provided for confirmations and records.
§3 — THE HEART OF IT
Authorization to Act on Your Behalf
You grant HipHop Planets a limited, revocable, per-work authorization to: (a) prepare and submit rights registrations in your name; (b) create and operate platform accounts under your registry identity; and (c) pay disclosed third-party fees on your behalf. Every authorization is captured as a logged consent record — who, what, when, and which version of these Terms — and a receipt is delivered to your registry inbox. No action runs without it.
§4
Your Representations
You represent that you own or control the works you submit and that the information you provide is accurate. Penalties for false copyright registration are yours, not the platform's.
§5
Fees
Platform fees and third-party filing fees are itemized before authorization. Fees for submitted filings are non-refundable.
§6
The Hybrid Agent
You acknowledge the service uses automated agents supervised by human operators, and that actions are logged to an auditable ledger you can review.
§7
Credentials & the Vault
Credentials you provide are stored in segregated vault infrastructure; pulls are logged and operator-approved. You may rotate or revoke at any time.
§8
Revocation & Termination
You may revoke authorization or close your account at any time; filings already submitted to third parties cannot be un-filed.
§9
Liability Cap
To the maximum extent permitted by law, platform liability is capped at fees paid in the prior 12 months. The platform does not provide legal advice.
⚠ DRAFT v0.9 — ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED BEFORE LAUNCH
§1
What We Collect
Identity and contact details, work metadata, split and collaborator information, and the records generated by your registrations.
§2
Your Registry Inbox
Mail routed through your @hiphopplanets.com identity is delivered to you. It is never sold, never mined for advertising, and is scanned only for security.
§3 — SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
Credential Segregation
Platform credentials live in segregated vault infrastructure, separate from application data. Every access is logged with actor, purpose, and timestamp, and requires operator approval. Payment cards are tokenized — the platform never stores raw card numbers.
§4
Sharing
Data is shared with rights organizations and government offices only as required to perform the registrations you authorized — never sold.
§5
Your Rights
Export your records or request deletion at any time. Consent records and filed registrations are retained as required by law.
