Latchkey Recordings
Latchkey Recordings LLC is an NYC-based record label founded in 2006 by entertainment attorney Mark Schwartz and Kether Gallu-Badat. According to their website, Latchkey's vision is one of independence and self-reliance that supports eclectic, multi-genre music.
The label’s first release was the producer-driven album entitled "The Most Underrated" by hip hop producer Domingo. The album was scheduled for release via Koch Entertainment in early 2007, and featured appearances by Beatnuts, Guru, Masta Ace, Kool G. Rap, and other MCs. Other acts on Latchkey include Gabby Glaser, Kool G. Rap (who's project Half A Klip will be in stores 2/5/2008 as part of Latchkey's partnership with Chinga Chang Records) and Team Blackout (the new rap group featuring Rev. Run's son JoJo Simmons).
Latchkey was recently featured in an episode of the MTV reality show Run's House where JoJo Simmons and his Team Blackout group officially signed an agreement to record for the label.1
