The Black Wall Street Records is a recording company founded by Jaceon Terrell Taylor aka The Game. The label is named after the The Black Wall Street, a segregated black business district in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the early 1900s, which was eventually burned to the ground in the Tulsa Race Riot.
The Game decided to help his own label gain success in hopes of being similar to his former label, Aftermath Entertainment. Big Fase 100, The Game's brother and a one-time affiliate of his label, officially left the label after internal problems between the brothers began. Since then Big Fase 100 went forth to start his own imprint, Brazil and Wilmington Records. Currently the only project the Black Wall Street has released as a group is a mixtape called The Black Wall Street Journal Vol. 1 . As of today, the label has a distribution deal with Capitol Records. The label is soon releasing two new mixtapes, The Black Wall Street Journal Vol. 2 and You Know What It Is Vol. 4. Both are to be released right around Spring 2007.
In the winter 2006 edition of XXL Magazine it has been reported in an article with Clyde Carson that The Black Wall Street Records has signed a distribution deal with Capitol Records. Also, in an January TV episode of "MTV Truth", The Game stated that his Black Wallstreet imprint has a distribution deal with Warner Bros.
