Mavin Records (also known as the Supreme Mavin Dynasty) is a revamped Nigerian-based record label founded by recording artist and record producer Don Jazzy on May 8, 2012. The label's inception came to fruition following the closure of Mo' Hits Records, a record label owned by the aforementioned producer and D'banj. The label is home to recording artists such as Tiwa Savage, Iyanya, Dr SID, D'Prince, Di'Ja, Reekado Banks, and Korede Bello. The label also houses a roster of producers such as Jazzy himself, Altims and Baby Fresh. In 2014, DJ Big N became the label's official disc jockey.Wande Coal was formerly signed to the label. On May 8, 2012, the label released a compilation album titled Solar Plexus.
Mavin Records started as a result of D'banj's departure from Mo Hits. Prior to commenting on D'banj's exit from Mo' Hits, there were allegations that D'banj signed over Mo' Hits to Don Jazzy. In an interview with Sunday Punch, Don Jazzy addressed D'banj's departure from Mo Hits, saying: "We were working together and all was going on well. It got to a point where ’I’ looked at the situation and we both decided that it was not working and we had to move on." Don Jazzy alluded to being hesitant of a name change. According to BellaNaija, the term "Mavin" describes someone who is gifted and skilled in any field. Upon establishing the rebranded record label, Don Jazzy said he sees Mavin Records being the power house of Music in Africa in the shortest possible time. After re-branding Mo' Hits to Mavin, Don Jazzy signed Nigerian recording artist Tiwa Savage. Pulse reported that Don Jazzy admires the singer's work ethic and drive.Pulse also reported that Mavin Records signed Aluko Altims Timothy and Sunday BabyFresh Enejere to the label.
