The Black Wall Street Records is a record label founded by Jayceon
"Game" Taylor and his half-brother
George "Big Fase 100" Taylor III.
The name "The Black Wall Street" is adopted from what was
the racially segregated Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
During the oil boom of 1920's, Greenwood was home to several prominent
black business men.
Before The Documentary, Game dropped a series of mixtapes on his
own label, The Black Wall Street. After leaving G-Unit Records, Game
hoped to push The Black Wall Street to the mainstream to compete with
his former label and labelmates. Big Fase 100 eventually left the
label officially after internal problems with Game. Though the company
hasn't released an official retail album, it has released several
mixtapes including the "Black Wall Street Journal" and "BWS
Radio" series. The label is thought to have had a distribution
deal with Capitol Records it was distributed through Warner Bros.
Records. Former artists who have been on the label include: Eastwood,
Techniec, Cyssero, Vita, and Charli Baltimore.
