url. Replace with website.location_country. Replace with headquarters_country.DatPiff was an online audio distribution platform specializing in hip-hop, rap, and urban music that launched in 2005. It was headquartered in Pennsylvania. The site was founded in the spring of 2005 by Marcus Frasier. It was owned by MediaLab. In March 2023, DatPiff experienced severe server outages. The following month, it announced that it had partnered with the Internet Archive to archive the site's music catalog. The site no longer hosts music but does link to the Internet Archive's collection. Despite this, the archived catalog completely disappeared from Internet Archive not long after its publication and has yet to be reuploaded officially by DatPiff, rendering only a small percentage of mixtapes from the platform available on Internet Archive.
