After leaving G-Unit Records, The Game hoped to launch The Black Wall Street, co-founded by his brother Big Fase 100, to compete with his former label and labelmates. Big Fase 100 eventually left the label officially after internal problems with The Game. Though the company hasn't released an official retail album, it has released several mixtapes including the "Black Wall Street Journal" and "BWS Radio" series. The label is thought to have had a distribution deal with Capitol Records, though it now has distribution through Warner Bros. Records. Former artists who have been on the label include: Eastwood, Glasses Malone, Techniec, Cyssero, Vita, Charli Baltimore and Young Life.
