You Didn't Hear This From Me


I heard through the grapevine that Kenyatta "Tally" Galbreth is moving beyond the entertainment/music industry fold into the content aggregation/distribution world.  Word on the streets is that he's been in numerous rounds of meetings with some heavy hitters and big money folks to set up his own content company.

Anyone familiar with Tally, knows that he was a former Senior Director of A&R at Sony, where he was responsible for multi-platinum acts including Jay-Z and Ghost Face Killah.  Since then, he formed his own entertainment company, Arsenal Entertainment, and has been involved in numerous major label and independent acts, including Jon B, Next and Adina Howard.

From what I've learned, the venture is called Gotham Jungle, and will offer content deliverable via OTA and the internet to PCs, mobile phones, hand held devices and gaming consoles.  So far, they've lined up deals with numerous independent artists, and they're amassing loads of content.  In addition, GJ will include some social networking and an  interactive media component as well.

There's a holding page up right now at http://www.gothamjungle.com/ with a notice that the site is being updated.  But you didn't hear it from me.
