About this list

Official contacts only, verified November 14, 2026 (America/Chicago). Every website, submission page, email, mailing address, and published price was copied from the organization’s official site. If a field is blank, it was not published on the official page we cite.

Policies change. Open the official link and re-check before you send music or a package. Rap Therapy is not affiliated with these organizations and cannot submit, follow up, or negotiate on your behalf.

This is information from official organization pages, not legal advice. Rap Therapy cannot review your contract, refer a specific lawyer, or negotiate for you. We do not invent attorney fees, and we do not upload unofficial “free contract” templates from blogs.
