The Black Wall Street Records is a recording company founded by The Game and his half-brother Big Fase 100.
The name "The Black Wall Street" is adopted from what was the racially segregated Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma USA. During the oil boom of 1910s, Greenwood was home to several prominent black business men, many of them multimillionaires. On June 1, 1921 the Tulsa Race Riots, a massacre during a large-scale civil disorder confined mainly to this neighborhood. The worst race riot in US history, 35 city blocks composed of 1,256 residences were destroyed by fire several hundreds of people were injured and thouands left homeless. Reports vary widly on many details of the riot from the reported number of deaths to even reports of airplanes carrying white assailants who were firing guns, dropping homemade kerosene bombs, and quite possibly, sticks of dynamite on buildings, homes, and fleeing families.
The Game decided to help his own label gain success in hopes of being similar to his former label. Big Fase 100 co-founder, officially left the label after internal problems began between him and The Game. Currently the only project the Black Wall Street has released as a group is a mixtape called The Black Wall Street Journal Vol. 1. The label is thought to have a distribution deal with Capitol Records. Former artists who have been on Black Wall Street include: Eastwood, Glasses Malone, Techniec, Young Life, Cyssero, Vita and Charli Baltimore.
