In February 2008, it was announced that Mediaskare entered a partnership with Century Media Records. The deal centered on new marketing and distribution for Mediaskare artists. In late 2010, the label broke apart from Century Media for distribution and joined Suburban Noize/RED. In 2014, the label faced media scrutiny for label artist Reformers' lyrics relating to homosexuality, and released a statement defending freedom of artistic expression in response.[2]
