01/22/07 - Lamar Odom: independent label called Rich Soil

J-Banks · 01-22-2007, 10:05 AM

Speaking of injuries, L.A. Lakers forward Lamar Odom has been on the mend for the past few weeks, but he'll be back on the court soon. Besides cheering for Kobe Bryant and the rest of his team on the sidelines, L.O. has been getting his business right. The Queens, New York, native started an independent label called Rich Soil and has a couple of guys he grew up with as his flagship artists: mixtape DJ Supastar Jay and rapper Ali Vegas.

"We got it off the ground," Odom said of the label, which has a distribution deal through Asylum. "We got Veg, he's one of the brightest young stars in the game right now. He just hasn't had the opportunity to let the world hear his voice. I'm just trying to bring that to him with all my connections throughout the world and corporate world."

Odom said he was inspired to start his label a couple of years ago when he changed teams and coasts. "I'd been watching [Vegas] go through his deals," Lamar told. "He was signed to Trackmasters, Casablanca, Sony. ... When I went to the [Miami] Heat and got traded back to the Lakers, I felt it was for a bigger reason. [L.A.] is one of the biggest markets in the world. With us being from New York and having a connection down here in L.A., it's kinda strong. As soon as the trade happened, it was like, 'I think I'mma do a label myself.' ... In rap, nobody wants to give up that spot. So we trying to move some dudes out the way, because everybody knows how good he is."

Rich Soil will probably release Vegas' solo LP sometime this year, and Supastar Jay has a compilation LP on tap as well. "We just trying to get strong, get our strength up," Odom said. "We're trying to lock the streets down and all that." ...
