TDE closed a joint venture deal with Interscope Records and Aftermath for only 2 of their artists. The majority of their artists are only signed to TDE and don't depend on other labels.
Kendrick (tde/aftermath/interscope)
Schoolboy Q (tde/interscope)
SZA (tde)
Isaiah Rashad (tde)
Ab Soul (tde)
Jay Rock (tde)
They also have their own in house producers (THC, Dave Free, Willie B, Tae Beast, Sounwave,...) & their dj/mixer.
