ABOUT TOP DAWG ENTERTAINMENT
Top Dawg Entertainment is an American independent record label founded in 2004, by chief executive officer (CEO) Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith. There are currently seven artists signed to the label, including the flagship artists, Black Hippy members Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul. The label also houses a production division that includes Digi+Phonics, THC and King Blue.

Anthony Tiffith began Top Dawg Entertainment in a home studio in 1997, working with producers, including Demetirus Shipp, who had done some work with Death Row Records. The producers began attracting rappers and his business model came to fruition in 2005, when he signed a local rapper named Jay Rock and landed him a deal at Warner Bros. Records. Tiffith then found TDE's second signee, a then-16 year old Kendrick Lamar, a Compton native, who at the time went by K-Dot and had just released his first mixtape, which gained recognition and earned the young rapper a buzz in his local area. Tiffith saw so much potential in Lamar, he signed him off the strength of his first mixtape.

In 2007, Carson-based rapper Ab-Soul, was added to the Top Dawg roster. In 2009, Los Angeles-based rapper Schoolboy Q signed with TDE after being affiliated with the label since 2006. In 2009, once they were all signed to the label, Schoolboy Q suggested that he, Lamar, Rock and Ab-Soul form a rap group, all four artists formed the hip hop group Black Hippy.

Most recently in 2013, Top Dawg rounded out their roster, signing the final two artists, with the first being Tennessee native, Isaiah Rashad and an up-and-coming female singer named SZA, to the label.
