Allido Records

Allido Records is a record label and production company co-founded by British DJ Mark Ronson and his manager, media executive Rich Kleiman in 2004 as an imprint of J Records, a division of Sony BMG. The label's name is derived from Stevie Wonder's 1980 song "All I Do".

Rapper Saigon was the first artist to sign with the label, but left in favor of Just Blaze's Fort Knox Entertainment. In conjunction with Clive Davis' J Records, Allido signed Chicago-based rapper Rhymefest, who is best known as the co-writer for Kanye West's 2004 single "Jesus Walks". He released his debut album, Blue Collar for the label in July 2006. In 2007, Ronson and Kleiman signed Washington, D.C.-based rapper Wale to a contract which entered a joint venture with Interscope Records in April of the following year. In 2008, the label signed Australian-born soul singer Daniel Merriweather.

The label was distributed by J Records until its dissolution in 2011, after which Allido became an independent label.
