Poverty Records, (PR Music Group) is an American record label founded in 1999 by A&R, Billy James King.

History
In the early years, the label primarily released music in the Punk, Ska, and Metal genres. It wasn't until 2007, the label signed their first Hip-Hop Act, AZ-1 and released the label's first Hip-Hop album "Gotta Get Away." Though the initial release of "Gotta Get Away" received very little success by the way of sales, it remains a pivotal release in Poverty Records' catalog, which ultimately led to the label branching out to a broader variety of music styles. The label now releases music in most genres.

In 2012 the label began using the alternate name PR Music Group on select releases for a more mainstream appeal.
