Epik High is starting their own label, which will be backed by their current label YG Entertainment.

CEO and founder of YG Entertainment Yang Hyun Suk said, “Be it 1TYM or Jinusean, YG’s roots have always been hip hop. YG feels deeply indebted but on the other hand grateful to all of the artists doing hip hop in this country.”

He expressed regret at not being able to take in the many aspiring hip hop artists who want to come to YG Entertainment. The plan is for Epik High, who has the greatest understanding of the underground hip hop scene of the artists in YG Entertainment, to spearhead the new label with Tablo as president.

Yang Hyun Suk judged Tablo to be the most suitable candidate for the position as he is a multi-talented rapper, lyricist, and producer and has a strong understanding of the Hongdae underground scene.

“We will do our best to support the establishment of this hip hop label so that it can become a good opportunity to all underground hip hop artists,” Yang Hyun Suk said.

Who’s excited about Epik High’s new label?

OH SNAP, I\'d rather be signed to a label Tablo is running than any American rap labels, just look at how Cash Money imploded!

Wait.. Don\'t they already have Map the Soul inc?

Now this will be interesting.. ^_^ Tablo as Prez :P Chihoon Daniel In

Tablo is a wondeful husband, a lovely father and he will be a successful businessman in the future

wooooooow Tablo is now a President no doubt! he deserve on it and he will treasure it

Epik High fighting!! A genius like Tablo really should do business!! He\'ll make it big!

Tablo\'s still so young. Only 34. thats a good idea. Press on..#FIGHTING

I think Haru would be the very first trainee. :) Epik High Fighting!!!

Map The Soul inc was back by Woolim and since Epik High left, they just stopped it. Dok2 then founded Illionaire with The Q and Epik High went under YG and now they are redoing a new label back by YG.

I know. I think it was Map the Soul Inc. is it defunct now? I have Love 16 by Tablo & Gonzo_20 by Dok2 from the website....& now I feel old. lol.
