Rizq Labs AI LLC
Florida single-member LLC. All Tex Bénèche music revenue, platform revenue, and affiliate payouts flow through this entity.
Parent company for: Texbeneche.com · NurGuard · The Hajj App · Bayti · TasnidChain · BackHumans
Texbeneche.com operates as a direct-to-fan music economy — not a label, not a distributor. Buyers unlock music and get a permanent affiliate link. No middlemen. No DSPs. No label.
The New Standard Platform PaaS (/engine) licenses this platform architecture to other independent artists. Every client uses the Independent Music Registry and pays setup + monthly fees or revenue share.
The Independent Music Registry (IMR) is a trademark-pending independent artist certification standard. Steel → Titanium → Palladium → Rhenium → Rhodium → Iridium → Osmium. Each tier requires both a revenue threshold and a paid-supporter threshold — replacing RIAA certifications for artists who sell direct-to-fan.
I have a felony conviction on my record in Florida. I'm not hiding it. I'm on probation and currently pursuing early termination via a pro se motion.
I made mistakes. I built this platform while under supervision. Every dollar earned here, every supporter who bet on this, every affiliate who shared a link — that's the real story.
No criminal background changes what's being built. The music is real. The economy is real. The transparency is real.
If this disqualifies me for you, that's okay. But I believe people are more than their worst moment, and I'm proving it here.
Every transaction on Texbeneche.com is direct. Fan pays → fan gets lifetime access + affiliate link. No recurring subscription. No rental. You own the unlock forever.

Card processing, Apple Pay, Google Pay
Affiliate commissions have a 30-day clawback window. If a purchase is refunded, the commission is cancelled. This protects the system from abuse.
Payouts to affiliates are PayPal-only. Minimum $25 to request. PayPal handles 1099-K reporting for affiliates who earn over the IRS threshold.
This page will stay accurate. Numbers update hourly from the live database.
I will never inflate supporter counts, fake revenue, or hide costs.
Affiliate commissions are calculated automatically. I don't touch them.
If the platform shuts down, all music files will be made freely available.
No label. No investor control. No DSP deal. This is mine and my supporters'.
