Epidemic Records

The duo started their own record label, Epidemic Records.[1] They signed a contract with Jive Records in 2003 concerning the distribution of their first artist, Dirtbag. In 2004, they signed Tony Sunshine. Unfortunately, the venture expired without either album being released on Jive. They also have a distribution deal through Neil Levine and Imperial Records for their artist Joe Hound. They recently signed a deal with Polo Grounds Music/J Records for their newest artist C-Ride. In 2006 Dre signed a solo artist deal with Jive Records to release his first album, The Trunk in which he both sings and raps. The first single was "Chevy Ridin' High" featuring fellow Miami rapper Rick Ross. As of 2008 they are producers and members of Fat Joe's hip-hop group Terror Squad.
