It's said that this will be a huge milestone for the music industry as artists will be supported with a multi-million dollar marketing effort that is unprecedented for any new artist, including television, print, radio, digital and event marketing.
"Today, we make history in the music industry with TAG Records," said Jermaine Dupri, president of TAG Records. "This label is going to provide new artists with a chance of a lifetime. New artists will receive ten times the typical marketing support - a first in the industry. I'm hand selecting and molding these artists to make history in hip hop."
TAG Record's first artist will be officially announced in May. The artist will be given a unique opportunity to merge their music with personal brand marketing.
In other news…
In addition to an album release, the TAG Brand will showcase TAG Record's artist and Jermaine Dupri across various TAG brand advertising and marketing initiatives throughout 2008.

hmm... cant wait to see how this turns out
its a good look for whoever gets signed n JD does his thing ... but i hope he doesn't shout "YA KNOW WHO IT IS" on every track --- thats why i feel sorry for people on Khaled's label "WE THE BEST DEF JAM" lol
The only way this marketing scheme would work if there was already a rapper named tag... Oh shit I hope they don't do that that shit will be so wizzzack!
I guess Da Brat might have a chance of stepping out of the early 90's after all.
L.A.M.E.
Extra Fuckin lame!
Who wanna be an Artist for Tag body spray
Dats some old plastic lookin ass shit!
And why people keep startin new labels if the retail game is fadin out?
How do these labels make money without selling records?
The same muthafucka whose signed to Virgin Mobile too. Wonder if he gon have that faggot from the phone commercials to be singin and sprayin his ass down?
this is madness... good look for tag... i woulda suspected Axe to do this b4 Tag since Tag kinda riopped Axe off and all
lol was thinkin the same shit...
Yeah this will be interesting to see how this turns out! Wondering who will be the first artist introduce in May?! Good luck on this venture JD!
Met introduced in May!!
There’s one think JD does better then the rest of these Producers, & that’s Making trash talent sell. Word up,…DL4, Franchise Boys, lil Bow Wow etc. Damn & we can’t forget how brolic he gets on the beats when it comes to Usher or Mariah’s shit. I can’t stand this 5 foot 3 nigga, but sonn is a musical beast. And if Tag is getting in the record biz while everybody tryin to get out, then let them waist that money
CURRENCY PERHAPS?
^^^^^ i agree......
i guess picking him wasnt the worse i idea because when it comes to make money off artist he does that well and his beats aint half bad really.....
good look for jd...he's making moves besides sitting on his ass, hopefully it works out so record sales can go up more in the hip-hop community
CARTER 3 WAS PUSHED BACK AGAIN!!!!!! TO JUNE 10.... I am seriously gonna not buy it just to prove a point to Wayne that he cant fuckin get away wit this bullshit... here is tha link... Its official too... JUNE 10th what a bunch of BS...
I AM OFFICIALLY STARTING THE THA CARTER III BOYCOTT... WE NEED EVERYONE WHO PLANNED ON BUYING THE ALBUM NOT BUY IT AND JUST d/l IT TO PROVE A POINT TO WAYNES FUCK ASS THAT U CANT PUSH BACK "The Most Anticipated Album" 10X!!!!! IF YOU WISH TO JOIN THE BOYCOTT REPLY TO THIS COMMENT!! Sorry for caps.
U know females gonna buy the hell out that shit regardless cuz of that one single, lol
this article has nothing to do with carter 3....but anyway.... you not buying the cd is not going to affect the sales
thats why i said every1 not buy it u dumb fuck get off my nutz
Dude I Could've told you that shit from the jump, The album ain't droppin' duke simple as that he gave you two wack ass singles and that's all you can expect nothing more
settle down scrill, i mean the dude put out a mixtape a day, so its not like you missin nuttin
LMAO @ the carter 3 nevr coming the next Detox
Nice idea...hopefully it wont be bubble gum rappers getting signed up
I’m surprised at the over whelming response saying this is a nice move for hip-hop. Don’t get me wrong JD is getting paid nigga, but that’s where it stops. This is a horrible move for hip hop. What Rapper you know would want to sign to TAG records? C’mon y’all, shit sounds like a marketing tool, Tag don’t give fud-uck about Sales, they will get their gwap back cuz they hope peeps will copp their products even more. It’s just a big advertising campaign to me. I bet they will have their punk ass artists make appearances with them spraying deodorant cans or they will throw ‘em in the crowed every chance they get…lord knows how corny the video will look.
Damn!
lame ass hell,what your gonna get free tag body spray products with every ringtone purchased lmao
Scrillstar don't you ever try 2 boycott waynes shit! You think you can't die pussy? There's a lot of real gz like myself that would murder just 4 thinking of some shit like that. This nigga wayne out pummeling pussy with real cock and you sitting at a computer hating bitch trying 2 stop his shine.
Gotdamn. Jokesta, if you would murder someone for boycotting a CD, does that make you a STAN?
wow bow chicka a wow wow
@Bigdicrid....WTF!!..Scrillstar has a point..but damn..Murdering niggas because he wants to Boycott Waynes ish...Thats dumb..and make you look Mad Homo....more homo then the Tongue ring Jermaine Dupri got..lol...But anyway...I can't hate on how he is doing his thing....JD is a Beast on Beats..and is a genius when coming to making lower rapper sell....but like I said he is doing it..so do what cha do
Yo I don't want to hurt nobody.im trying to change my life.I've killed 4 simple shit but aint nobody gonna shit on wayne while he out here putting in real work lyrically, finacially sexually. Maddenlegend if you want to cosign this nigga you could end up just like he will, dead.
And you suppose to be mmmmm, Wayne’s # 1 Bitch? Get fuck out here, Lil Wayne is out somewhere snorting coke & sippin on Sizurp he don’t know you nigga. who is you? is this Stan? Stan that you? Shit you must be that fuck boy that stole Em’s bitch’s phone….oh please don’t murder me online lol.
You think niggas that have taken a life or are capable of taking one be bragging about it online? And please don’t respond back you make your self more ass
Muthafucka would prolly give his life to change places with Baby in that pic for his avatar
^^homeboy is ball deep ridin wayne's cock...
anyways, i'm all for young talent comin up in the industry though whatever means, including marketing of TAG products. If it means some young nigga gonna get outta the grind, its all good in my books.
TAG is prolly going to intro a line up of products, sprays, gels, shampoos, deodarant and the list goes on...combined with some mainstream hip hop artists, theyll have more exposure then their competition like AXE...seems like a good business move!
What JD the Boss??????? He's using Tag as a way to bring back Kriss Kross.
Damn death threats on the net.....thats lame. I killed 4 people...shut the fuck up!!! You need to quit watching tough guy movies.
I neva said I killed 4 people you pussy ass white boy. Where im from we stand for what we believe in and fall for nothing. Fuck a tough guy movie, real niggas will put in work for weezy.I aint the only 1 believe dat. You aint gotta buy his album but if you think you going to organize some haater ass shit like a boycott then you will be dealt with.simple as that. This nigga spotting shit u couldn't think of in a thousand years and cum'n on bitchs you dream of. Deal with the shit or get dealt with
damn nigga hahahhahahahhaha. you should be a boondocks character; the nigga is serious. homie, its just music. why would you go on threatening niggas that are probably minors n shit over an cough syrup addicted muthafucka that don't care bout his fans.
- "im a self made millionaire, fuck the public..." lil' wayne.
..nigga u gay. "real niggas will put in work for weezy" haha dat shit is reel homo u act like he ur baby daddy + shit
Amen Chimere. This muthafucka talkin bout killin somebody for Wayne, but this man prolly wouldn't even sign ur fuckin CD if u seen him in the street.
What?? Dude you dumb as fuck. Did you just say youll put in work for Weezy?? I hope to god you aint serious. What you tryin to be Weezy's Toy Soldier?? Being a fan aint good enough for you?? You define the word Stan. You also define homo. Just shut the fuck up, you sound really gay when you threaten(cough, cough), and stick up for a guy you aint never met or goin to meet. Keyword: GUY!! Dude get a grip and chill the fuck out.
LMAO yalls niggas are comedians.
And I dont need a boycot...his album KEEPS gettin pushed back. He'll do the work for me. Oh yeah, whats it like to be a rocket scientist, smart guy??
Wait, JD is starting a record label with the company that makes that cheap ass non-working deodorant.Smh
Is this what Hip Hop has come to? What's next, Snoop Dogg starting a record label with the company that makes alpo...
I know niggas want to make money, but you can have a little integrity...Smh
ALL OF YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO CANNIBAL CORPSE
Fuck Cannibal corpse
nigga stfu.. i think you need to go reevaluate ur outllok on life cause nigga dis aint a good look. but seriosly wayne is losing his grip on reality. u cant push it back dis much n expect niggas to still want it. specialy wen lolipop da first single. big ups to my man JD though. he doin his thing
no fuck you, go suck lil wayne's dick like u've been doin
Its funny how these suit and tie corporate niggas see our culture.
They think since JD has alot of hits under his belt that he can really go out and find some talent and cultivate it like he used too.
