TDE Founder Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith recently gave an interview with Hits Double Daily about his label, talking about how he got into the music business in the interview published on July 3, 2024:
"To tell you the truth, I wasn’t into making music like that in the beginning. I was too heavy in the streets trying to get rich. I knew the hustle game wouldn’t last forever, and after getting the type of money I was getting from the streets I knew a 9-to-5 job wouldn’t work for me.I built the studio as my backup plan for whenever the time came-"
The label founder continued:
"-for me to get out of the streets... my uncle Mike Concepcion was heavy in the music business. I watched him have a lot of success with artists like Blackstreet, MC Hammer, Rome and others. He also produced The West Coast Rap All-Stars’ peace record, "We’re All in the Same Gang.” He’s the one who sparked the idea of me getting into the music business."
Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith later talked about the plans of the label in the coming days, revealing the label's compilation album and who will be featured on it as well as the celebration of the label's 20th anniversary:
"I don't know. It’s really up to them at this point. That’s something I would love to see—and of course it’s something that the fans would love to see. The issue has always been getting everybody in the same space at the same time. They all have their separate careers and are moving differently."
The founder continued:
"But it’s really up to them... Everything. 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of TDE. We got SZA coming with a deluxe album soon. We have Jay Rock and Ray Vaughn gearing up. We got ScHoolboy Q and Ab-Soul coming, SiR coming, Doechii coming. I’m excited."
