Reservoir acquires Mannie Fresh catalogue
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 14 April 2023
Reservoir has acquired the recording and song catalogues of hip hop producer Mannie Fresh.
“Mannie’s clever production cultivated a powerful moment for Southern hip hop, and his distinctive sound helped pave the way for other producers for years to come”, says Reservoir EVP A&R & Catalogue Development, Faith Newman. “I have personally been a fan of his for decades, and it’s a pleasure to bring him into the Reservoir family”.
The producer adds: “It’s great to be joining up with Faith Newman and the entire Reservoir team. I’m grateful for their support and I know they’ll take care of my music”.
Mannie Fresh made his name as the in-house producer at Cash Money Records when the company was founded in 1991 and for a time he was one half of hip hop duo Big Tymers with label boss Birdman.
During his career, he has produced the likes of Lil Wayne, TI, 2 Chainz, T-Pain, Big KRIT – as well as having his work sampled by Drake, Kendrick Lamar, YoungBoy Never Broke Again and more.
