Shadyville Entertainment is a record label that was started by DJ Whoo Kid.

Shadyville Entertainment is the partnership of DJ Whoo Kid and Nana Fujise and was so named as a tribute to the Queen’s Village, New York neighborhood in which DJ Whoo Kid was raised. Its purpose was the marketing and promotion of DJ Whoo Kid on a worldwide level via the many mediums in which he operates successfully – mixtapes, DVDs, radio (New York's Hot 97 and Sirius' Shade 45 channel), MTV, BET, magazines, and web promotion – all of which carry and further the Shadyville Entertainment brand.

To date DJ Whoo Kid's accomplishments and accolades include 5 Justo's Mixtape Awards, Rolling Stone's Top 10 DJs of 2005 mention, a 10 hour block of programming on Sirius Radio's Shade 45 Channel, a regular show on New York’s Hot 97 station, tours both nationwide and worldwide, and many MTV Mixtape Mondays "notable mentions". As his recognition grew on a worldwide level, Shadyville Entertainment realized that they had created the perfect blueprint for artist promotion and the proof can be seen in the success stories of the careers of artists like 50 Cent, The Game, Mobb Deep, Chamillionaire, M.O.P., and Bump J, all of whom have benefited from being promoted though Shadyville Entertainment. As of March 15, 2007 over 150 DJs have been signed to Shadyville.
