Imma check this out. Suave House was my shit along wit AWOL, Sic Wid It and Black Market.

 

[f31roger]

yeah... they have fallen hard.

But then again, there are hella record companies now. Every rapper has their own label.

These rappers don't have a "Real Record Label". Just lil production companies fronting like their record labels. All they do is make a album and take it to the major who own the masters, handle promotions, videos, radio etc. Unlike a real inde, they pay for damn near everthing. The era of record labels are over, their only two real major independent record labels in the south, Rap-A-lot, Cash Money who still is going strong. People need to understand the diffference from a record label and a production company.

yeah suave house is/was dope...i know 40 and 8-ball and draper go way back...

 

[Pushinbigbody00]

probably my favorite label of all time, next too Rap-A-Lot..same thing that happens to the other labels, egos build, certain folks stand out, and then the checks dont start adding up..

 

[Thugged_Out08]

I remember Suave House ended up becoming RnD Distribution. I think they still in business to this day. I used to fuck with Suave House tough, they had some of the dopest artist out the south. Whatever happened to Tela? That nigga can fuck around and bring the pimp out a square lol.
