- Starlito Cold Turkey Zip Jermaine Eric Shute (born December 15, 1984), better known by his stage name Starlito (formerly All $tar Cashville Prince) is an American rapper. He gained his first national look for the 2005 song 'Grey Goose', which featured artists Young Jeezy and Yo Gotti.
- The album never appeared and All Star was off the label in 2010. As Starlito, Shute was more productive than ever. Amid dozens of mixtapes, he also issued proper albums on his Grind Hard label, beginning with Cold Turkey, his first of several releases that registered on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

History[edit]
Founding[edit]
EMPIRE was founded in 2010 by CEO, Ghazi Shami,[1] a music technology graduate of San Francisco State University and the former Director of Urban Music at INgrooves.[4] In operating the company, Shami was joined by Nima Etminan, an MBA graduate in Media Management from Hamburg Media School. Etminan, co-founder of the hip hop platform DubCNN.com,[5] worked to expand the mission and services and as of 2011 was handling Marketing and A&R. Etminan now serves as Vice President of Operations and A&R.
Releases[edit]
One of the label's first charting releases was Authenticity by hip hop duo The Foreign Exchange, released on October 12, 2010. It peaked at #145 on the US Billboard 200, and #23 on the US R&B chart. Rapper ScHoolboy Q's album Setbacks, released on January 11, 2011, also charted, reaching #100 on the Billboard 200. Longterm Mentality by Ab-Soul, released the following April, peaked at #32 on the US BillboardTop Heatseekers. In November 2013, Hopsin's Knock Madness album peaked at #76 on the Billboard 200[6] and at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.[7]
Nima Etminan soon signed California hip hop artist Kendrick Lamar to the distribution company, and as of early 2012 Empire began handling distribution for all the projects by Top Dawg Entertainment, including Lamar's Section.80.[5] Released on July 2, 2011, the album reached #113 on the US Billboard 200 and #1 on the BillboardTop Heatseekers Albums.
2012 saw releases by artists such as Slum Village, Trinidad James, Snoop Dogg, and Freddie Gibbs, several of which charted. In 2012 the label helped organize a 2013 tour between Trae tha Truth and J. Stalin.[8] Also in 2013, Empire distributed the album Still Goin In (Reloaded) by Rich Homie Quan, which was named tenth best mixtape of 2013 by Rolling Stone.[9] Recent albums include Phantom and the Ghost by Styles P, released on April 29, 2014. It charted at #74 on US Billboard200, and #14 on US BillboardTop R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
In 2013, Empire established its recording division, with Fairfield, CA native Sage The Gemini being the first signee.[10]
I remember someone stating earlier they were supposed to be sealed so I'm hoping thats why they were hard to get grease into. To my knowledge these have never been greased until I found them so I'm sure there's been some wear. I also found the 4 zerks on the other side-the bearings for the spider gear. Two took grease easily, the other two took alot of pressure to get grease into. After greasing everything and replacing 10 missing teeth ($6 a piece at the local Case IH dealer!) I ran the baler and everything sounds and runs pretty good. Vermeer 605f manual.
In 2017, it was announced that Rayya Lioness launched a new Independent label called Lioness Music Style Records, LLC , which will be distributed by Empire. LMS Records is home to such artists as Albino Redz, BLK XLNZ, and more..
In 2018, it was announced that record producer and label executive L.A. Reid founded a new label Hitco Entertainment, which will be distributed by Empire.[11][12] In the same year, Australian and rapper Iggy Azalea announced her own record label originally titled New Classic Records and later renamed to Bad Dreams with its distribution being handled by Empire.[13][14]
