# What is JG HitLab?

Last updated: 2026-09-09

JG HitLab is Joe Galaxy's artist intake and record-validation door for independent music. Artists submit one original, rights-clean record for processing and review. Payment covers processing, not placement. Strong records can earn next-step consideration for Joe Galaxy Radio and the wider JG Universe. Placement cannot be bought; the record has to prove it.
