![]() The album, Good Kid M.A.A.D City would change everything. But even with their core roster formed (which would later be filled out further by Isaiah Rashad, SZA and recent signee Lance Skiiiwalker) TDE had yet to fully explode as one of the most powerful independent record labels in the world of Hip Hop. Ab-Soul followed suit in 2007, and ScHoolboy Q inked in 2009. Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock signed to TDE in 2005, a year after its inception by founder Anthony Tiffith. Kendrick’s steady accumulation of releases helped him to slowly gain traction alongside his Top Dawg Entertainment labelmates as they honed their craft and began to strategically position themselves within the music industry. By the time Kendrick Lamar had finally eased into the melting pot of American consciousness, he already had five mixtapes under his belt, an EP and a studio album to boot.
