St. Louis continues to reassert its place in the national hip hop conversation as veteran artist GuiasyButta, widely known as the “St. Louis OG,” officially announces a landmark distribution partnership with Sparta Distribution, a division of 300 Entertainment.
The deal marks a major milestone in GuiasyButta’s career and signals a powerful moment for the Midwest rap scene. As part of the announcement, the respected St. Louis artist will release his highly anticipated new single, “Neva Been a Hata,” on February 20, 2026, across all major streaming platforms. The release is expected to showcase his signature authenticity, rooted storytelling, and street-hardened perspective that has earned him longevity in the region’s music culture.
“Neva Been a Hata” follows GuiasyButta’s late-2025 street anthem “PIMPTALK,” a record that generated strong Midwest buzz and reaffirmed his standing as a consistent voice in St. Louis hip hop. With momentum building, the partnership with Sparta Distribution positions him to expand his reach while maintaining creative independence.
“This is a big move for the city and a chance to showcase what I’ve been building,” says GuiasyButta. “Partnering with Sparta lets me stay independent while having a major engine behind me.”
Sparta Distribution, 300 Entertainment’s invite-only distribution platform, has become known for supporting independent artists with strong identities and proven foundations. By aligning with the platform, GuiasyButta gains access to major-label infrastructure without compromising his artistic control, a balance increasingly valued in today’s music industry.
Known for authenticity and longevity, GuiasyButta has remained a staple of the St. Louis music scene through consistency and credibility. His journey reflects the resilience of Midwest hip hop and its growing influence on the national stage. With this new partnership and upcoming release, he is poised to take the authentic St. Louis sound to a broader global audience.
As February 20 approaches, “Neva Been a Hata” stands as more than just a single. It represents a defining chapter in GuiasyButta’s legacy and a proud moment for St. Louis hip hop.
