Aftermath Entertainment
Santa Monica, California

Aftermath Entertainment is an American

Eve, Rakim and many others. The label's acts over the years have earned RIAA certifications
of platinum or higher on 18 of its 22 released albums.

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]

Dr. Dre Presents the Aftermath was released towards the year's end featuring artists who were amongst the label's first signees (most of the acts featured, however, quickly became disassociated with the company). In 1997, Dawn Robinson announced her departure from the R&B group En Vogue and that she had signed with Aftermath.[2]
Before the year's end, however, she abruptly left the label, claiming that Dr. Dre had been too slow to get the ball rolling on her project.

In the autumn of 1997, Aftermath released the only collaborative project by

King Tee. His album, however, was shelved, and King Tee was released from his contractual obligations in 2001.[4] Last Emperor had also been signed during this time, but was shelved due to creative differences with an A&R at Aftermath.[5]

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

The Game, who signed with the label in 2003, also released his debut album The Documentary through a joint venture with 50 Cent's G-Unit Records
in 2005. Shortly after the release of The Documentary, tension between The Game and 50 Cent ignited, resulting in The Game leaving Aftermath Entertainment in mid-2006.

Flipmode Entertainment, through his Universal Motown deal.[8] Stat Quo was also released from the label in 2008, citing differences in direction.[9] In early 2009, Slim the Mobster signed to Aftermath in a joint venture with Shady Records and G-Unit Records. But later he was moved just to Aftermath.[10] While in late 2009, Detroit rapper Hayes was signed to a joint venture with Timbaland's Mosley Music Group but was later released from his contract.[11]

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.

OWSLA label as a recording artist.[21]

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]
