News: Mack 10 Grabs Record Label Job
West coast rapper Mack 10 has taken a position on the staff of Melee Recordings as an A&R scout for new talent.
Melee is run by industry vet Bryan Turner, who founded Mack 10's former label home, Priority Records. Under Mack 10's new title, the rapper will also look for talent to join his own Melee-distributed Hoo Bangin' Records imprint.
"I'm very excited to join forces with Bryan once again, this time as an executive," Mack 10 said. "We both have years of experience in this music game. The streets of L.A. are full of talent ready to explode, and the West is ready to come back hard. Hoo Bangin' and Melee will be the perfect structure to put the ‘Left Coast' back on the map in a major way."
Turner, whose era at Priority saw the rise of signed artist Ice Cube and label moguls Eazy-E, N.W.A., and Master P, says Mack 10's mind for business was evident during his days as an artist on the rap label.
"He'll be a great executive and I will completely support his efforts," Turner said.
