Street Records Corporation (SRC) is a label headed by urban music pioneer and former Loud Records founder, Steve Rifkind. Rifkind first leaped into music history when, through his family's label (Spring Records), he helped release FatBack Band's "King Tim III," the first hip-hop record ever. Keeping his ear finely in tune with the pulse of the streets, he began marketing hip-hop acts like Leaders of the New School, Brand Nubian, Tone Loc, and in the process, became the architect of the modern street team. In 1989, Rifkind took this concept a step further and launched his own consulting firm, the Steven Rifkind Company, trademarking the term "street team." Through it, Rifkind attracted such clients as Nike, Pepsi, HBO, Rolling Stone Magazine and Levi, quickly establishing the company as a marketing powerhouse. With that, Rifkind decided to return to music and started Loud Records in 1992, inaugurating the bi-coastal hip-hop label and recruiting Tha Liks as his first act.
By maintaining its now renowned A&R prowess and aggressive, street wise approach to discovering and nurturing talent, Loud quickly established itself as one of hip-hop's most successful and culturally influential labels, releasing many of the most important albums of the 90s from the Wu-Tang Clan, Big Punisher, Mobb Deep, Funkmaster Flex, Xzibit, Three 6 Mafia and Raekwon, among many others.
Rifkind paired up with Universal Records in 2002 and started SRC. The label has broken three artists in its first three years with the multi-platinum David Banner, Akon and Remy Ma. The first release, David Banner's "Mississippi: The Album", went on to sell one million worldwide. Akon's debut album sold three million world-wide and his sophomore release "Konvicted" has gone over 4x platinum worldwide thus far.
In December 2007, SRC released the highly anticipated Wu-Tang Clan set "The 8 Diagrams" to critical acclaim not just in the hip-hop community but to music lovers of all kinds.
Look out for several new SRC releases throughout 2008 including a new album from David Banner and new music from the newest member of the SRC family - O'Neal McKnight.

Today I woke once again happy to have you all with me, not to speak or we live but the times changed confidences. Unaware count secrets. The most embarrassed to take more intimate and the needy are expressed more easily. Here where I live things are difficult. I can count on fingers how many friends I have ... to be more exact I have only three friends to whom I can boast. This is the reason that I seek true friends in the net. I answered a few, sometimes for lack of time, being too busy to give attention to a single person who is ... how can I say ... simple enough to gain attention and others do not respond by not wanting to respond. Often not a mind to say "hi" just to make the best day of the happiest person. But that does not matter, and I understand. It is easier you have a good friend to all around you more than someone who lives almost across the planet. In November I completed a full year of myspace and is a year that I know some of you, through a friend called Zaraah (Borg Queen), were it not for her I would not have all of you. Much love to all I do not matter where you are, that parents will you, if you are rich or poor, are women or men, all fit in my heart and it is still more. My dream is, if one day I have enough money to visit all and I give a strong hug to all ... but that is a distant dream ... always be beside you to listen to their problems and to comfort them the best possible way. I am friend, lover, companion, crazy, loyal, passionate, loving and happy to have you all and sad at the same time by not having them. All are important and each day I love the more you all want all the happiness in the world and with my sincere thanks .. Thanks for any in my life ... thanks for being here every day ... I love you all ... today and always ... Chris ...
