Game And Stat Quo Start New Label- Rolex Records

Apart from the fact that the name is a bit like a bight off Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group, I think this is the best decision Game has made in a while. He recently announced that he and former Aftermath label artist, Stat Quo started a label together, and its called Rolex Records. Read more on this below-

"I just started a new record label, Rolex Records, and we're going to get off the ground and see if we can move," he says. The label is a joint venture between Game and fellow rapper, Stat Quo. "He was signed to Aftermath with me in the beginning. Now we're business partners, which is cool because he was a good friend of mine and he's just as equally music smart so we'll see how it goes," says Game. (Billboard)



"Jesus Piece" fulfills the rapper's contractual obligations to Interscope and it looks like he will be handling his future releases on his own terms going forward. He confirms to Billboard that he is planning to use the label as an outlet to put out his new music, adding "that is the idea behind it." As Rolex Records is still in the beginning stages, Game says he hasn't had much time to figure out his long-term goals for the label. "We've been up and running for about 30 days. We're gonna do it big though." He mentioned that he had just secured an office space for Rolex in Los Angeles. (Billboard)




Why I say this is one of the best decisions Game has made in a while is cos he will now have his own thing, and not have to split his money four way..between Jimmy Iovine, Dr. Dre, and 50Cent. I bet some of you didn't know that 50 was still cashing in on some percentage off game's album profits. But, after he drops this last album (Jesus Piece) next week, he will be free as a bird. Game signed a 5 album deal with Interscope/Aftermath...and partly with G-Unit. He was thinking of going to Cash Money after droping his last album, but it's cool he decided to stay independent. He is nolonger a platinum selling artist. But if he can sell 300k with his newer albums on his independent label, that is way more money in his pocket than if he would be on a major. And another reason why I think this is a great decision from Game is cos, he has a partner. Game can't really handle corporate ish like that, and i'm sure that's where Stat Quo comes in.
