Rap-A-Lot Records

Profile

Founded by [a=James Smith] in 1986 and soon became a prominent independent hip-hop label in the region. In 1991 the label teamed up with [l=Priority Records] to manufacture & distribute releases. This deal lasted until 1994, when Rap-A-Lot switched over to [l=Noo Trybe Records] (which was under [l=Virgin Records America, Inc.]) for distribution. Many of the label's classic albums released under Priority were re-issued through Noo Trybe in 1995. Around 1997/98 Virgin Records became the main parent label for Rap-A-Lot until around 2003/04. Currently [l=Asylum Records] is the parent label of Rap-A-Lot Records.
