2019's release of "BDEMG Volume 1: The EP" was not only a compilation showcasing the talent of the Dolla's "BDE Music Group", but it also sparked a moment of growth for his long time imprint. "Black Dolla Entertainment was and is the starting point of my striving to give independence and ownership not only to myself as an artist but to other artists as well. Knowing that the company was structured as a label, I wanted to change the structure to encourage the artists that I work with to create their labels and my company act as a parent company. That gave me the motivation to create BDE Music Group, so be able to reflect the intention of housing not only great artists but great businesses." The company now houses other acts such as Jo'De Boy, Mojo Kezz, Yung Jewelz, and others.
