CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith founded Top Dawg Entertainment in 2004 and emerged as a cultural force with Lamar’s ascent to critical acclaim. The label’s roster currently features eight signees: the above artists and rapper Isaiah Rashad.
Top Dawg issued two LPs in 2017: Lamar’s fourth album, DAMN., which recently earned seven Grammy nominations; and SZA’s Ctrl, which picked up five nods at this year’s ceremony. The L.A.-based label released R&B singer SiR’s debut record, November, last week.
Lamar and Tiffith curated and produced the soundtrack to Marvel’s upcoming Black Panther film.
