Yessuh...

Murs and I had this convo last year at Soundset... most people don't realize the longest indie running hip hop labels are black businesses... the assumption is that the fanbase often isnt so people aren’t in tune

But those that know.... know

E-40's Sik Wid It Records has been around since 1989. It had a distribution deal with Jive/Zomba for years, but I think it's back to being independent.

Does something like that count? If so..

Rap-A-Lot

TDE

and so many others.

I'm not a fan of most of the artists on Cash Money Records or their subsidiary label Young Money Records but yeah that's all owned by Birdman & his brother.

With Lil Wayne gone and is now signed straight to Universal Records, I know it's going to hurt the label some.
