Da Kid has made history, being the first artist signed to Procter & Gamble's TAG Records [click to read], a label that's being guided by the expertise of Jermaine Dupri.

Beyond just making history, the Brooklyn emcee has a history of his own, not often discussed in the chatter about corporate labels.

Red Cafe is from Konvict Muzik, and Gravy's playing Biggie Smalls in [Notorious]."
