What is the name of the record label founded by Kanye West?

The record label founded by Kanye West is GOOD Music, often styled as G.O.O.D. Music. The name is a backronym for "Getting Out Our Dreams," reflecting West's emphasis on turning ambitious creative ideas into music and careers.

West founded the label in 2004, shortly after releasing his debut album The College Dropout, through a joint venture with Sony BMG. Its early roster included West, Chicago rapper Common, and Ohio singer John Legend. Legend's album Get Lifted became the label's first album release and helped establish GOOD Music commercially.

The label later became associated with artists such as Big Sean, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor, Mos Def, Desiigner, and producer Q-Tip. West appointed Pusha T as president in 2015, and GOOD Music entered a distribution relationship with Island Def Jam in 2011. It is easy to confuse GOOD Music with Donda, another Kanye-founded venture, but Donda was a creative content company launched in 2012 rather than the record label asked about here.
