In an unprecedented move, rapper/mogul Master P and son Romeo have pledged to clean up the negative image often associated with hip-hop music through the formation of their new label, Take A Stand Records.
The label will feature responsible artists, clean lyrics and a positive portrayal of the urban community.
Master P states: “Personally, I have profited millions of dollars through explicit rap lyrics. I can honestly say that I was once part of the problem and now it’s time to be part of the solution.
“I’m ready to take a stand by cleaning up my music, and follow my son’s footsteps and make a clean rap album. I’m not expecting the entire industry to change overnight, but this is one positive step towards the growth of hip-hop.”
The first release under the new label will be a father and son album from Master P and Romeo titled Hip-Hop History.
The record will contain clean lyrics and will debut this fall.
“There’s too much negativity out there – enough with the stereotypes,” Master P says. “Hip-hop is a movement, and it’s time for it to move forward.”

good move. About time people wake up and Percy Williams is a great role model from ashy to classy
