History
South Central Los Santos has for a long time has boasted extensive talent in the regional genre of Hip Hop which has evolved over time to span all over the globe. In Los Santos, a unique expressive form of hip hop was created which was renowned as being ‘West Coast’ hip hop. Southside Records was born out of that necessity to allow artists in Los Santos a platform to display their art form and skillset. The genre has typically been dominated by gang affiliated individuals utilising the platform to represent themselves and the gangs they belong to. However, the art form is also expressive in the form of real-life struggles faced within the community and the detriment faced by gang violence.
In 2020, a producer from Los Santos by the name of Eric ‘Droopy’ Dominguez gathered the necessary funding to establish Southside Records boasting a modest recording studio. Initially, the record label aimed to establish a platform of hip-hop artists however due to innovation within the genre – it is also open to other forms of Music not limited to Rap & Hip-Hop.
