Bad Boy Records

Bad Boy Records is an East Coast hip hop record label founded by producer and rapper Sean "P.

Its artists have included Cheri Dennis, Boyz In Da Hood, The Notorious B.I.G., Craig Mack, Total, Faith Evans, Mase, 112, Carl Thomas, Shyne, Black Rob, G-Dep, Da Band, Dream, New Edition, Mark Curry, B5 and Mario Winans.

The label's first release was Craig Mack's "Flava in Ya Ear" in 1993.
