Bad Boy South was founded in 2003 after this signing of 8 Ball & MJG.
This deal added acts Boyz n da Hood, Gorilla Zoe, Big Gee, Jody Breeze, Duke, and Young Jeezy.
Jeezy would leave the label before the group could release their debut album, which sparked controversy as he would start his own label and sign with The Island Def Jam Music Group.
His hit single, "Hood Nigga", would propel his album to a Gold certification.
2007's other release was Joc's Hustlenomics, with his hit "Coffee Shop" with Gorilla Zoe.
