There’s a new powerhouse of young talent brewing on the West Coast. Coming together under the name of Involved Records, this new independent label is home to 22 up and coming artists from all over the globe, displaying their capabilities in an array of musical genres, from Hip-Hop to Reggae to Latin music.
Involved Records was founded by CEO Celester Gaither, better known under his artist name Doc.Ce, under which he has collaborated with musical legends Barry White and the Gap Band, as well as West Coast veterans such as Kokane, MC Eiht, Bad Azz, Goldie Loc and RBX.
The Los Angeles rapper has a clear vision of where he wants to take his company: “We are here to flood the streets with hot music, taking it back to the old school, and we’re ready to put in all the leg work we have.” Gaither, aka Doc.Ce, currently has a single heating up the streets called “Real Hustlaz Can“, which features Kokane and Goldie Loc of Tha Eastsidaz.
Besides himself, Gaither also has several rising artists that he is showcasing. One of his fellow L.A. natives is Mr. Smoove, who is known for always carrying a positive message in his songs. His current single “Gotta Be A Betta Way” features Bad Azz from the Dogg Pound Gang and is now available on iTunes and all digital retailers via Involved Records.
Detroit representer CAP1 is also on the Involved Records roster and currently has his catchy radio single “Ice Cream” out online, while Southern artist Lil Suge gives it up to the independent women taking care of their business while maintaining their reputation on his single “Certified Ruby“.
Involved Records also has a couple of female spitters on the team, such as Lyric Lee, who has her mellow summer single “Cruzin” blazing the streets. Female MC Lady Cam has her autobiographic single “Lady Like” out on all the digital retailers, introducing herself as a force to be reckoned with.
Other artists on the roster include; Lil Scorpio, Sophia Brown, Tha Block, Taknox, Jforte, Ro-millz, Joe Gomez, Tumbleweed, Omega Raw, Lee Jordan, Shamroccus, Qwan Tha Leo, T Da Solja and Ferries Wheel. You can check out Involved Records’ artists on iTunes, Amazon and all digital retailers. Also catch Doc.Ce and some of the Involved family on the Involved/G-Unit mixtape featuring 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Governor, 40 Glocc and Tony Yayo.
