WeMix was an online music creation community and user-generated record label founded in 2007 by hip-hop musician and actor Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges and reality TV show producer Matt Apfel.[1] It was a privately held joint venture between Ludacris’ Disturbing tha Peace label and MegaMobile TV (a company founded by Apfel).[2] The site was a social network that featured a content browsing/filtering structure similar to YouTube. WeMix allowed artists to interact, share their music, give feedback, and collaborate with other artists. The site was free to all users and had an internet-advertising business model.[3]
