Origins and early formation
editThe label was founded in 1991 in Oakland, California, by Jason Blaine, who was disappointed by the fact that many rappers in the Bay Area were unsigned at the time.[1] He offered RBL Posse $10,000 ahead of time to sign with his label, which they quickly accepted due to the fact that they were still selling tapes on the street.[1] Although the label never had any major commercially successful albums, Andre Nickatina's 1995 album I Hate You with a Passion appeared at #79 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #3 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.[2]
