WICKED ENTERTAINMENT
Wicked Entertainment is a Chicago based independent record label & media firm . The label was founded in 1993 by childhood friends Sleepy and Sinbad, who met on a schoolyard when Sinbad tried to take Sleepy’s ball. By 1993, Sleepy had dropped out of college and he and Sinbad were doing street promotions for Dick Griffey’s legendary Solar records. Bitten by the bug of the music business, Sleepy and Sinbad had a smoke out and decided to start a new record label. They used the $1500 they were paid for promoting Solar as seed money and Wicked Entertainment was born.
Following in the tradition of late great Eazy E, J. Prince, Russell Simmons, and Rick Rubin, Sleepy and Sinbad set out to build a strong Independent label; however Wicked Entertainment was focused on Chicago hip-hop and rap.
Wicked E. will celebrate its twenty year anniversary this summer (2013) with releases from its new artist “Co Still” and “Dj Waxmaster”. You can also expect new music from the 3x platinum recording trio DO or DIE. Along with those releases will return the “Wicked Streets of Chi” Compilation series featuring Chicago’s new generation of talent.
