SOLITARY CONFINEMENT RECORDS

FOUNDED IN 1999 BY CEO, ARTIST AND PRODUCER SOLITARY 1, SOLITARY CONFINEMENT RECORDS HAS NEVER DEVIATED FROM OUR ORIGINAL PHILSOPHY AND MISSION: GENUINE, QUALITY HIP-HOP AND URBAN MUSIC. SCR BEGAN AS A GRASS-ROOTS MOVEMENT THAT CENTERED AROUND A CORE OF ARTISTS AND PRODUCERS WITH A HEAVY BACKGROUND IN THE BAY AREA UNDERGROUND HIP-HOP SCENE. SOLITARY 1 ALONG WITH VICE PRESIDENT J. "GIZMO" CERVANTEZ SET THE WHEELS IN MOTION TO WHAT WILL ONE DAY BE A MEDIA EMPIRE. IN 2003, SCR RELEASED THE DEBUT ALBUM OF HIP-HOP ARTIST DOBAD TITLED "RAPID FIRE." DESPITE BEING RELEASED DURING A RELATIVELY SLOW TIME FOR BAY AREA HIP-HOP, THE ALBUM WAS RECIEVED WITH A STRONG BUZZ AND GREAT CRITICAL ACCLAIM.THIS ALBUM SOLIDIFIED OUR POSITION AT THE FOREFRONT OF OUR SCENE AND CULTURE. IN 2004, SCR FOLLOWED UP WITH THE CLASSIC DEBUT ALBUM OF DOBAD AND KOS TITLED, " PICK YOUR POISON." THIS RELEASE WENT ON TO FURTHER OUR LEGACY OF QUALITY BAY-BRED, AND HOMEGROWN TALENT.HAVING PERSERVERED THROUGH THE TRYING TIMES THAT MEANT A BIG SLUMP IN MAJOR LABEL FUNDING AND INDIE SALES THAT THE BAY WENT THROUGH DURING THE LATE 90'S AND EARLY 2000'S, IT IS NOW 2006 AND THE SPOT-LIGHT IS BACK ON THE BAY. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT RECORDS IS POISED TO STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT AND EARS AND EYES ARE ONCE AGAIN ON THE BAY AT A NATIONAL-LEVEL.
