From the heart of San Francisco to the world ❄️ Happy Holidays from everyone at EMPIRE

Proud to spotlight our CEO Ghazi and COO Nima Etminan in their recent conversation with Flood Magazine as EMPIRE continues to celebrate 15 years of building culture—independently. From our roots in San Francisco to a global footprint spanning Africa, Europe, and beyond, Nima reflects on what’s powered EMPIRE from day one: an artist-first mentality, long-term thinking, and a hip-hop ethos that fuels everything we do—across genres. As Nima puts it: “We dabble in all genres… But I think that the hip-hop ethos, the hustle in the way that we approach it, is definitely always there." The piece dives into EMPIRE15 at Civic Center, our commitment to community, the belief behind early partnerships with artists like Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Too $hort, Fireboy DML, and Shaboozey, and our continued investment in San Francisco as a creative home for the next generation. Swipe for a glance at the feature via #FloodMagazine and join us in celebrating 15 years of independence, impact, and global expansion. #EMPIRE15 #DefiningIndependence #IndependentHustle
