Company History

SRC Records was founded by Steve Rifkind in 2002, the same year that he was ousted from his CEO position from Loud Records. He would form the label and sign an exclusive distribution deal with Universal Records. The label was much like Loud Records, a hip hop and R&B label. Loud Records is a subsidiary of SRC Records founded by Steve Rifkind in 1992. The first move with the label was signing David Banner, a rapper from Jackson, Mississippi. Lavell Crump is an American Rapper, occasional Actor, Record producer, Record label executive and Philanthropist. With Banner as their flagship artist, SRC soared to great heights behind his 2003 debut. The label was instantly hailed as the second-coming of Interscope Records, due to the obvious similarities. Interscope Records is an American Record label, owned by Universal Music Group, and operates as one third of UMG's Interscope-Geffen-A&M label The hit single "Like A Pimp," would make the label a household name within the hip hop community. During the year of 2003, the label would hit paydirt after hearing tapes from Senegalize singer, Akon, who they would immediately sign to their label. Aliaune Thiam In 2004, Akon would release his multi-platinum debut album, Trouble. In early 2004, they signed a deal to distribute material from the rap supergroup, Terror Squad.

Joseph Cartagena, better known by his Stage name Fat Joe, is an American Rapper of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent and Reminisce Mackie, better known by her Stage name Remy Ma, formerly known as Remy Martin, is an American Rapper and former member After these releases, SRC had established itself among the other heavyweight record labels in hip hop music. In 2005, the label granted Akon his own label Konvict Muzik. Konvict Muzik is a Record label owned and founded by Melvin Brown and R&B singer Akon. The deal brought more artists on to the label and a hit album from Akon.


Loud Deal and Today

In June 2007, Sony Music resurrected Rifkind's original label, Loud Records. Loud Records is a subsidiary of SRC Records founded by Steve Rifkind in 1992. Loud had been home to many of the more popular hip hop acts of the time, but would shut down operations in 2004. After the resurrection of Loud, Rifkind would buy the label and make it a subsidiary of SRC. His first act after re-gaining the label was, as he did fifteen years earlier, signing the Wu-Tang Clan. Now a powerful force in hip hop music with plenty of artists and sub-labels, SRC plans to add some acts of all genres to the label. They have added some southern acts to the label and look to be a dominant force in music for some time.
