DatPiff is an online audio distribution platform that was launched in 2005. It is headquartered in Pennsylvania.[2] It specializes in hip-hop, rap, and urban music.[3] The site was founded in the spring of 2005 by Marcus Frasier.[4][5] It is owned by MediaLab AI Inc.[6] In April 2023, DatPiff announced that it was undergoing a revision, mainly as result of a major decline in the traffic the website was receiving, as well as copyright issues with many mixtapes on the website.[7]
