Game Recordings

Game Recordings was a New York-based record label best known for its artists featured on the soundtrack of the video game Grand Theft Auto III. Game Recordings artists included Royce da 5'9", Agallah, Sean Price, Pretty Ugly, Ilacoin, Nature, and JoJo Pellegrino. The label was also known for the "Game Girls," or "Hip Hop Honeys," who featured on all of the promotional singles and maxi-CDs it released.

The label's Chief Executive Officer was Jonathan "Shecky Green" Shecter, co-founder of The Source magazine. Eric "Ric Riggler" Rhea, an A&R executive, headed the company.

Game Recordings' first release was Lord Digga's My Flows is Tight, a song based on a sample from the theme of the game show The Price is Right.

In 1999, Game Recordings released a 12" single consisting of three songs, by rap duo Bad Meets Evil, called Nuttin' to Do.

In 2000, Game Recordings released two singles from artist Ilacoin. "By A Stranger" featuring other New York artists Labba (later of Busta Rhymes' Flipmode Squad) & Bad Boy artist, Black Rob (snipped for the video game Grand Theft Auto III) and "Keep It Street" featuring Sadat X of Brand Nubian. One of the B-sides to Ilacoin's single "Keep It Street", "This, That & The 3rd" (produced by Easy Mo Bee) would be interpolated for The Wu-Tang Clan 2007 single, "Take It Back" from the 8 Diagrams album.
