History
The label was founded as Strainge Entertainment by Elliot Grainge in 2016.[3] Grainge is the son of veteran executive Lucian Grainge, who is chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group. After a lawsuit by rapper Tech N9ne in 2017, citing the name similarities of his label Strange Music, the label rebranded as TenThousand Projects,[4] and later shortened to 10K Projects.[1]
Distribution was handled by Universal through Virgin Music Group[5] until September 2023, when the label announced would move to Warner Music Group in a joint-venture.[6][7]
