Think It’s A Game Records has become a powerhouse in the music industry because of the motivation and drive of Founder and C.E.O. Girvan “Fly” Henry. The New York-born and Atlanta-raised entrepreneur, mogul and philanthropist is the visionary behind Think It’s A Game Records. Thanks to Fly and his team, Think It’s A Game Records has quietly grown from a local label and management company into a multi-platinum hit-making powerhouse with major distribution, numerous awards, and a place at the forefront of the culture.
2012 marked a mainstream breakthrough for the company. Trinidad James’s “All Gold Everything” blew up as one of the biggest songs of 2012. Not only did it earn a gold plaque from the RIAA, but an interpolation of the track featured in Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ mega-hit, “Uptown Funk,” which scored GRAMMY® Awards in the categories of “Record the Year” and “Best Pop/Duo Performance.” Meanwhile, Rich Homie Quan’s star skyrocketed. “Walk Thru” reached gold status, while “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)” went double-platinum and soared to #1 on the radio. At the same time, TIG7 Publishing garnered a trio of BMI Awards in the category of “Most Performed R&B/Hip-Hop Song” for “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)”, YG’s “My Hitta” [feat. Rich Homie Quan & Jeezy], and Rich Gang’s “Lifestyle.” In addition to BMI Awards, TIG7 Publishing has received several awards and accomplishments for signed producer June James: Billboard Top 40 Single with Travis Scott’s “Yosemite” which also went double platinum and Hot Single 100 with Yo Gotti’s “Put A Date On It”, certified platinum.
That success continued in 2017. Following years of development, “Fly” steered YFN Lucci to stratospheric success. “Key To The Streets” [feat. Trouble & Migos], also produced by TIG’s signed producer June James, marked the second consecutive #1 at radio, and it became platinum. “Everyday We Lit”, produced by TIG’s signed producer June James, followed the third consecutive #1 at radio, with a gold certification. Along the way, he orchestrated a high-profile distribution deal for Think It’s A Game Records with Warner Bros. Records. Under this partnership, Lucci’s full-length debut, Ray Ray from Summer Hill, captured spots in the Top 10 of the Billboard U.S. R&B/Hip-Hop and US Rap charts in addition to the Top 15 of the Top 200. “Fly” has been personally featured by everyone from XXL, Black Enterprise, and BET to HipHopDX and more.

Michele Ducci has unveiled the second single, ‘Woman Like You’, from his forthcoming album and animated film ‘Snail in the Clouds’.
‘Woman Like You’ pairs bright distorted electric guitar with an electronic drumbeat, adding in Ducci’s soulful vocals and a catchy uplifting chorus with Letizia Mandoleisi’s sweet vocal harmonies. A vintage organ pedalboard operated by Ducci simultaneously generates chords, bass and rhythm, like a one-man band. Shane Kennedy (Girl in the Year Above) joins in on guitar. Simon Milner (Is Tropical, Ysing) recorded and produced the track at his 4am Studios in London.
The album and film tell the story of a planet called ‘Snail’, inhabited by hybrids – primarily a mixture between scorpions, snails and humans – who lead a life according to the style of Pythagoras, devoted to music. There is also a cloud man named Agostos, a writer of musical operettas, who together with a talking smoke machine called Doctor Subtilis, begins to kill all hybrids, targeting in particular the hybrid musician Diodoros and his band, in an effort to steal the ark of melodies, an ancient ship that allows the whole planet to survive with music and joy.
The video for the single, created and animated by Ducci and Mandoleisi, delves further into the realm of planet ‘Snail’:
Says Ducci, “The ark of melodies, after various attempts, finally starts to work and fly in the planet Snail, while the shady Doc. Sub. and Agostos, with their platoon of soldiers made of foggy smoke, spy the miracle, planning to steal the ark for their evil and tyrannical purposes.”
About the track, Michele says, “I wrote this song for my love Letizia. Love seen from the mind is the sound we make. Sound is the love of matter.
We used a Technics synthesizer organ from a flea market. I tried to find a mood that was right for the song and I started using the bass of the pedal board together with the synth and the drums, and it was magical to hear the song reveal itself all coming from a single instrument. Leti was singing with me and we recorded everything live in one shot. Then we made Shane do the guitar flight, as if he came out of the window. The idea was to maintain disproportions, guitar thrust and synth drum thinness a la Haroumi Hosono, so as to create an estrangement, but naturally: it’s about how I listen, with close up something that captures me in its nuance as element of a larger orchestra somewhere. I’m glad we decided in the studio with Simon to use the layers of arrangement as the close-ups in the cinema; they look like strange enlargements that perch on parts of a mutated orchestra. I’m happy to come back with this love song at a time when everything seems to opt, even my labor in managing the flows of selfishness that have poured out on me while doing this album, for the sound of war. I’m here happy to be able to say that the sound of love always wins as did for me. Snail in the clouds is one of the most important works in my life and I am glad to start from pure love for this album that is my son.”
The album and full-length film will be released on the 5th of June on Monotreme Records.
Michele and Letizia’s previous musical short film, ‘The Great Book of Nature’, is an official selection for the 2026 Venice Shorts Film Festival.
