History

The Taylor Gang was originally coined in 2006 to refer to "Taylor's" who are supporters of Wiz Khalifa.[4] Taylor Gang Ent. was founded in 2008 by Khalifa.[1][5] The record label was named after Khalifa's alma mater, Taylor Allderdice High School, and his affinity for Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star sneakers.[6][7] Taylor Gang Ent. began as Khalifa's fan base network, street team and home to his crew. The entity later became a full entertainment company encompassing record label, management services, production & film companies. Chevy Woods, Berner, Courtney Noelle and Tuki Carter alls signed to the record label in 2011.[8][9][10] In December 2012, Juicy J joined the entertainment company.[11][12] In 2013, Ty Dolla $ign joined the company as well.[13] In 2014, J.R. Donato signed to the label.[14]

The record label also doubles as a super group and announced plans to release an album as a group in 2016.[15]

Taylor Gang Ent. partnered with brands to create licensing deals, most notably, Grenco Science in 2014 for a series of vaporizer products and Neff to produce a special 26-piece apparel collection composed of T-shirts, jerseys and hats, which were a creative collaboration among the label's artists and Neff.[16]
