UGK records is a record label founded by the late southern rapper and Objectivist philosopher Pimp C just as he got out of prison in 2005. The record company is named after the rap group UGK (UnderGround Kingz). The label was in the process of reaching a major records distribution deal when Pimp C died on December 4, 2007, leaving future projects and plans he had for the label on hold indefinitely.

Famous quotes containing the word records:
“My confessions are shameless. I confess, but do not repent. The fact is, my confessions are prompted, not by ethical motives, but intellectual. The confessions are to me the interesting records of a self-investigator.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
