Hit em up Records...

began in 1997.  An idea, a peninsula on the horizon.  The struggle to climb the mountain to make this dream a reality began immediately, and came with its fair share of rock slides, land mines and road blocks...

We began by cultivating our talent and building our arsenal of equipment, an ongoing task that would prove to be timeless.  During this process, fate playing the part she does brought us together with Money Vault Muzicc, an up and coming company themselves founded by the Rapper/Producer, Da K.A.T.  Together we decided to combine our efforts and open a recording studio to support the needs of our projects, as well as provide the Sacramento Music Community another option in the art of recording.  Keeping ourselves busy between our own creations and the workload of the studio, we were able to grow as a business to the point that we were forced to find a larger location to meet the needs of our clientelle.

Over the past few years, the studio has become one of the most recognizable names with in the music community, providing services to artists and record executives alike.  From pre-production to booth, from the booth to master mix-down, from there to the distributor.  We have done it all, and been host to some of the most talented artists in the recording industry.  Such artists as Yuckmouth (Smoke-A-Lot Records) from the Luniz, Suga T(Sick Wit It Records) from the Click, Brotha Lynch Hung & the Siccmade Family (Siccmade Muzicc), Keak Da' Sneak from 3x's Crazy, Luni Coleone (Sicc-A-Cell) and Devious (DVS Entertainment) are a few of the artists to frequent the studio.  Not to mention Da' K.A.T., who has already released his debut album,"Still Subbin'" featuring such artists as MC Eiht, Ice-T, South Central Cartel and Compton's Most Wanted.  He has just finished recording his second soon to be released album, "Katastrophic", which features MC Eiht, Above the Law, Brotha Lynch Hung, Devious, 8-Ball and Tone Montana.

Through the trials and tribulations that life has presented, we have been able to maintain ourselves as a growing business in the Sacramento community.  Facing  adversity and eagerly accepting the challenges of tomorrow have allowed us to etch out our spot and progress at a steady rate.  The studio operates on an unofficial motto, and that is "The studio by artists, for artists!!"  Are you one??


The Studio:

Currently under re-location efforts, we are not open to the public.  We are in the process of designing a fully equipped and custom designed studio.  It will include an LEDE control room on a floating floor, a solid vocal booth, a MIDI work station (pre-production area), a mix-down room, and a VIP area with refrigerator and snack machine. This will be a multi month process, so please bear with us during construction.  

We will also be featuring some new toys for you studio heads to play with.  But rest assured that we will also still record in all our old formats, 32 track ADAT at a recording rate of +4dB. We will be bringing back our DJ set-up that kept so many of you DJs busy during those long recording sessions.  We can't wait to see you all in the studio again, but in the meantime, we are using this as a time of artistic resurgence preparing for you some of the hottest tracks you'll hear on a variety of soon to be released projects.  Keep your eye's peeled.


The Label:

Several years of hard work and dedication have gone into the structuring of our label.  From ideological design to artistic sound.  These have been thrown into a melting pot with a vast amount of ideas and traits that define Hit em' Up Records.  Currently we are working towards our first public release expected within a year.  But you can find our work on a variety of released albums currently available, check the Projects link.

As a company we are going on nine (9) years old, a young, vibrant resource only beginning to be tapped. The ability to reflect on the past and make the future.  Spark the next big movement and integrate the past with the present to mold new minds and send them off into various directions.  This is an exciting time people, to be on the verge of revealing what will come to be known as, "The Concept".  The future is now...Don't miss it!!
