About the app, Cash Money Records Co-Founder and Chief Executive Ronald “Slim” Williams says, “We’re always excited for the next innovation in the music industry. The app engages fans on the modern playing field, while celebrating our history. It’s the perfect balance. I can remember selling our first releases out of my car, and I can’t wait to see how the album artwork comes to life in the digital space! It’s the beginning of yet another era for Cash Money.”
 
Republic Records VP of Digital Aaron Bogucki comments, “We were sitting in the Cash Money Vault as a team, and we began looking at all of these amazing album covers. We wanted to embrace that influential aesthetic within an app. That’s what sparked the idea. Now, fans can place themselves in this artwork for the first time. It’s an exciting avenue to organically promote the 20th anniversary of such a powerhouse label and its influence.”
