Obie Trice left Shady Records back in June of 2008 after releasing two albums, ‘Cheers’ and ‘Second Rounds On Me’. He dropped a track called ‘Giant’ in 2008 which hinted that he left the label because of Shady Records’ distributing label, Interscope. Now Obie is making some business moves and starting his own record label called Black Market Entertainment LLC. Obie told AllHipHop that the label was started in hopes to discover new artists from Detroit, “Recognition for Detroit artists is a must, and Black Market Entertainment will be a conduit,” he said. Black Market Entertainment will be officially launched today in Detroit at Via Notre and the whole Shady crew is expected to attend including Eminem, Dr. Dre, D12, and Royce da 59. Eminem is also confirmed to make an appearance on Trice’s new album titled ‘Bottom’s Up’ so it seems there was no bad blood between the two after Obie’s departure. It’s also evident that Obie is keeping the alcohol theme rolling with the title of his new album.
Obie launched his first solo album called ‘Special Reserve’ last December with Canadian Producer MoSS. The album was released on MoSS’s label called Mossappeal Music.
There is no official release date yet for ‘Botom’s Up’ but it will drop sometime in 2010 and I am no doubt looking forward to it! Cheers mates.

Hey, this is Michael Whirlwind Horse, I’ve been working on material, remixes and some of my own produced tracks. I’m from a small town in South Dakota raised on the Reservation and been dreaming of the day where i got to represent the label shady records, i made a remix to You Burn, and if you would like to hear it email me so i can send you the song. I go by many names n one of them is Slim…the goat. I made several remixes enough for a mixtape but i watched the new song you made titled Anymore, i loved it O. “Don’t get it twisted like you internet niggas do, shady, thats my birth well always be crew..” My song “Slims knocking on the door now he’s bored, applying the D Streets to his growth.” If this gets to either you or Em, please respond.
