Young Jeezy appoints Bigga Rankin the Vice President of CTE and the Head A&R for the record label based out of Atlanta, GA. Bigga Rankin has over 20 years of experience and brings a plethora of knowledge to this label. Being known as the underground artist’s favorite DJ, through his mixtape series RNR Bigga Rankin has been a influence in many careers, including but not limited to: Young Jeezy, Papa Duck, Gucci Mane, Lil KeKe, Blood Raw’s , Plies, Yo Gotti, Trae, Rick Ross, Lil Boosie Strong Family Ent artist Swazy Baby and Montana White, Strong Family Ent A & R.
Swazy Baby should be commended. While other up and coming artists are busy trying to bury their underground past, Swazy Baby continues to capitalize on his. And why not? It was using mixtapes as a way to build his buzz up intially, Swazy caught the eye of Bigga Rankin.
Clicking up with B-Rich and TJ Chapman, B.o.B was able to turn his underground success into a deal with Atlantic Records.After a slew of critically acclaimed mixtapes, cross-country tours and commercial placements B.o.B still has that spark in his eyes and energy in his voice that he did when I first saw him on stage.
The 90’s was great era for hip-hop but it was equally great for R&B. Many acts have come and go since then, but the foursome of Jagged Edge has seemed to have staying power. Since their dropping their debut single "The Way That You Talk" back in 1997, JE has been a regular site on the R&B scene. 
C-Ride is used to the spotlight, even if you’re not used to his name yet. The Florida representor has been a staple of the Epidemic Music/Polo Grounds team for years now. After making a name for himself on the underground, he’s ready to make his presence known in the mainstream.
"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up. You wouldn't expect an artists who has signed to major deals, posted hit records and has sold units to still speak about grinding it out. But Yo Gotti isn't the average artist
