DISTURBING THA PEACE

'Disturbing tha Peace Records, LLC' (commonly known as DTP) is a recording company and management company based out of Atlanta, Georgia, that specializes in hip hop and Rock. The label was founded by Ludacris and his manager, Chaka Zulu, when Ludacris failed to get a record deal. Ludacris rose to fame after his release of his ''Back For The First Time'' debut on the label Def Jam. Disturbing tha Peace released a compilation ''Golden Grain'' in 2002 in which it featured Shawnna, I-20, Tity Boi, Lil Fate, DJ Jay Cee also known as DJ JHB, and Ludacris himself on the album. In 2003, the label became home to St. Louis rapper Chingy who released ''Jackpot'' on the label. After a dispute over royalities, Chingy abruptly left the label. Since then, Disturbing tha Peace has signed R&B singer Bobby Valentino, Field Mob, Shareefa, Playaz Circle, Norfclk , Willy Northpole and rock group ''Lazyeye'' to the label. Most of the artists on Disturbing tha Peace are distributed through Def Jam. Capitol Records has also distributed Chingy's and I-20's albums. Universal Records is distributing the Playaz Circle upcoming release, and Field Mob are a part of Geffen Records.
Ludacris is considering moving DTP to a basic recording home (Universal Motown Records Group)
Chingy has recently returned to DTP.
They are now working on a new album called Strength in Numbers. DTP has released a preview of the 1st Single called "Celebrity Chick" featuring Chingy, Small World, and Steph Jones[1].
