Juelz Santana & Skull Gang Mixtape /// Feb '09



Over the past few years, the hip-hop game has watched Juelz Santana become one of its brightest stars, its biggest personalities, and its finest MCs. Whether solo or with his Diplomats brethren – most recently with Jim Jones on A Tribute to Bad Santa – Juelz has begun to let us in on a little secret: the game's been missing something vital, and he's got it.

Slim Thug /// Boss Of All Bosses /// March '09



An imposing figure with a voice to match, Slim Thug established a huge following in short time, which had a lot to do with his business instincts — mixtapes released on his own Boss Hogg Outlawz label circulated throughout the Houston region. Slim's debut album, Already Platinum, dropped in 2005 while his group the Boss Hogg Outlawz released Serve & Collect and Serve & Collect 2 consecutively on KOCH Records. Now Slim is back with his long awaited sophomore album Boss Of All Bosses which is slated to hit stores everywhere in March of '09.

Grafh /// The Evolution /// TBA



Grafh acquired an early buzz on the mixtape circuit, and received early support from mixshow DJs in New York, and elsewhere for his skill, lyrical finesse, and consistency on the mic. He became the flagship artist of Black Hand Entertainment, and his previous background at St. John's University qualified him for double duty as president at the indie label. The first single from Grafh's The Evolution, "Like Ohh," can be heard on urban radio now.
