According to Billboard: In 2014, TDE hopes to lock and load its most ambitious slate of releases: Rashad and the label’s first nonrap signing, New Jersey-based female singer-songwriter SZA, will be coming with albums, as will original team members Jay Rock and Ab-Soul. Meanwhile, Free thinks the long-awaited debut from Black Hippy – the supergroup featuring Lamar, Q, Rock and Ab-Soul – is likely to appear in 2014; Tiffith indicates that TDE is planning to release a new Lamar album this coming September, too.
For Top Dawg Entertainment, it’s been all grind since day one. A decade ago, Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith began building the groundwork for the independent label. The first artist signed was Los Angeles rapper Jay Rock and the next was none other than Kendrick Lamar! From there TDE’s success gradually snowballed, effectively becoming the West Coast powerhouse they are today. Make sure you hit the jump to learn more via HNHH along with a in-depth infographic!

Thus far, 2012 has probably been the biggest year for TDE. Three of the four Black Hippy members released albums that year, including Kendrick Lamar’s highly-praised ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city.’ Last year, TDE didn’t rebuild: they reloaded. Adding pieces like SZA and Isaiah Rashad only helped strengthen the already robust label. This year, TDE plans to release albums from all six of their artists, from Schoolboy Q’s much-hyped ‘Oxymoron’ to Ab-Soul’s ‘Black Lip Pastor.’ Yield to TDE, a record label with no brake pedals. They’re set to have a MONSTROUS year.
