Description
GOOD Music (stylized as G.O.O.D. Music ; a backronym for Getting Out Our Dreams ) is an American independent record label founded by rapper Kanye West in 2004. The label signed an exclusive long-term worldwide label agreement with the Island Def Jam Music Group in 2011. In 2012, the label released its debut compilation album Cruel Summer. In 2015, Pusha T was appointed the president of the label by West, while record executive Steven Victor was appointed COO. On December 19, 2022, Pusha T announced that he was stepping down and was no longer on speaking terms with West.
The label has released two number-one US Billboard Hot 100 singles, "All of Me" by John Legend, and "Panda" by Desiigner; as well as nine number-one US Billboard 200 albums: Finding Forever by Common; Dark Sky Paradise , I Decided , and Detroit 2 by Big Sean; The Life of Pablo , Ye , Jesus Is King , and Donda by Kanye West and It's Almost Dry by Pusha T.
In 2022, Complex reported that GOOD Music is no longer a part of Def Jam Recordings and West's deal with the label expired. Its final two releases, It's Almost Dry by Pusha T and You Can't Kill Me by 070 Shake, were released and distributed by Def Jam in April and June of that year, respectively.
