Nouveau Riche Records & Productions

HISTORY

Nouveau Riche Records was founded and formed by writer/producer Santiago Ortega as an independent record label under a Nouveau Riche empire also consisting of Nouveau Riche Productions and Nouveau Riche Collections. In 2007 the label formed in San Antonio, Texas and shortly after signed their first artist, Sam RUBIK, a gifted lyrical-minded hip hop artist. After releasing two mix tapes, Rude Awakening and Mind Music from 2008-2009, Founder Santiago Ortega and Sam RUBIK relocated to New York City to expand the label's presence and get closer to the wide media outlets.

In August 2010, RUBIK dropped Life Without Commercials or "LWC" and had a wide reception to it due to strategic marketing on the label's behalf. 'PLACES' the next mix tape released from RUBIK in October 2010, served as a preview of Sam RUBIK's most anticipated release, 'LWC2:PLACES' which drops March 15th, 2011.

Sam's music consist of several producers and engineers who work independently although come together for RUBIK's sound. Nouveau Riche artists and producer Ocky Goodsounds, 20480 studios and Bum Bum Jones creator Andre Weems, DJ Doomsday, and Beautiful Lou whose also produced for Lil B all contributed to RUBIK's music and together have witnessed him become acknowledged and accepted as a future staple in today's music industry.

After brief discussions with Island/Def Jam A&R Jamal Jimoh, RUBIK decided to continue on independent status and will release his first EP through Indie label label Nouveau Riche Records after the release of 'LWC2:PLACES'
