At its core, Official Records exists to give voice to stories that the mainstream overlooks — stories rooted in truth, survival, ambition, and legacy. We represent the voices that come from the blocks, the corners, and the cityscapes that birthed the culture. Hip-hop isn’t just music to us — it’s a language, a lifestyle, and a legacy that deserves to be protected and projected with integrity.
Our mission is to amplify the unheard. While the industry often recycles trends and manufactures personas, our artists are the real article — raw, unfiltered, and fearless. They don’t chase what’s hot. They become what’s next. Through our music, immersive visuals, and deeply rooted branding, we’re building a platform where authenticity is the standard, not the exception.
Official Records is here to preserve the soul of hip-hop, inspire the next generation of storytellers, and disrupt the industry from the ground up. Whether it’s an album, a freestyle, a visual, or a show — everything we touch reflects the real, the now, and the never-before-seen. We’re not here to fit in. We’re here to leave a mark.

Every detail of Official Records—from the music to the merchandise to the message—is a reflection of his values: independence, unity, and elevation. Where others chase trends, he builds structure. Where others look for shortcuts, he lays bricks. One move at a time.
As a CEO, Chestine leads with both discipline and heart—balancing long-term strategy with day-to-day hustle. He’s not just in the game to make noise—he’s here to create something that lasts.
“This ain’t just music—it’s culture. And we’re building it from the dirt.” – Chestine Lewis
