History
Upon his departure from Death Row Records in the summer of 1996, Dr. Dre quickly launched Aftermath Entertainment through Interscope Records. It was founded as a "boutique label" that prides itself on "quality over quantity", focusing on small numbers of high-profile releases.[1]
In the autumn of 1997, Aftermath released the only collaborative project by
Upon recommendation from Interscope Records head, Jimmy Iovine, Aftermath signed Detroit rapper Eminem in 1998. The following year (1999), Eminem's major-label debut album, The Slim Shady LP was released. The album topped the Billboard albums chart, went on to be certified quadruple platinum, and arguably became the label's first successful album release. Also in 1999, Aftermath released 2001, Dr. Dre's follow-up to his 1992 album, The Chronic. The album went on to be certified six-times-platinum.
Several more artists were signed to, and later dropped from Aftermath, including
In January 2010, it was revealed that Bishop Lamont had left the label due to the repeated delay of his debut, The Reformation,[12] while long time Aftermath R&B singer, Marsha Ambrosius, had also left the label.[13]
Later in January 2010, Game posted a twitpic of him wearing a lot of Aftermath chains with a caption saying "It's funny how things come Full Circle". Later he confirmed that he had returned to Aftermath Entertainment, however it was later confirmed he did not resign to the label.[14][15]
In October 2011, Dr. Dre started to work with his protégés Slim the Mobster and Kendrick Lamar.[16] On October 17, 2012, Slim the Mobster was officially released from the label.[17] In March 2012, it was announced that Kendrick Lamar had officially signed with the label.[18] On October 15, 2013, during the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards Flint, Michigan rapper Jon Connor announced his signing to Aftermath Entertainment.[19]
On February 20, 2014, 50 Cent announced his departure from his Interscope record deal which included his deal with Aftermath Entertainment and Shady Records.
In a September 2015 interview with Mr. Wavvy, singer Asia Bryant hinted that she was in talks to sign a deal with Aftermath.[22] The singer is featured on Dr. Dre's latest album, Compton.[23]
