History

The name "The Black Wall Street" is adopted from what was the racially segregated Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma. During the oil boom of 1920's, Greenwood was home to several prominent black business men, many of them multimillionaires.

After leaving G-Unit Records, 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 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 it was distributed through Warner Bros. Records. Though it now has distribution through Interscope Records due to game's return to the label. Former artists who have been on the label include: Eastwood, Glasses Malone, Techniec, Cyssero, Vita, Charli Baltimore and Young Life.
