PI Records : The New Young Money Records
Founded in the fall of 2007 by Enrico Taylor, PI Records started off at a humble start. Like many other beginners in the music industry, Enrico found himself begging people online to hear his music and posted many links on Bebo.com and Myspace. Eventually, the name PI Records started getting a buzz when Enrico realized that sex appeal sales and decided to sign male models and musicians with a huge female following. 78000 Myspace fans later and a combined 350000+ fans on Bebo , PI records became a household name and a label that many musicians began to seek. The flaw was that at the time, Enrico was only 15 and therefor too young to sign contracts , including record deals. To make matters worse another rising star named Soulja Boy attempted to sign the young entrepreneur but got turned down. Within weeks a new song called “Whoop Rico” came out. The men that made it wore SOD shirts in the crowd which was a label created by Soulja Boy. A frustrated Taylor put out a diss that had received over 980000 youtube views within a month but took it down after much thought about not wanting to debut via a diss. Alas after many betrayals and life lessons , Enrico began to master the skill of promotion and in 2010 decided it was time to get back to work. Presently, PI Records is home to some of the most popular musicians today from Lil Face whom has 30000+ facebook fans… to Haviah, a female emcee with lyrics that will drive you out this world. And now the legacy begins a new chapter …

Sometimes he was known simply as “the Voice.” Born in Woodland, AL, Vern Gosdin idolized the Louvin Brothers and the Blue Sky Boys as a young man and sang in a gospel quartet called the Gosdin Brothers. When he was in his late teens, his family moved to Birmingham and began hosting The Gosdin Family Gospel Show on a local radio station. Gosdin and his brother, Rex, moved to Long Beach, CA, in 1961. They began performing bluegrass music in the milieu that gave birth to country-rock, joining a group called the Golden State Boys that evolved into the Hillmen, featuring future Byrds member Chris Hillman. Vern and Rex teamed up to sing country music as the Gosdin Brothers once again, had a Top 40 country hit in 1967 with “Hangin’ On,” and opened for the Byrds on occasion. Gosdin moved to Atlanta in 1972, raising a family and running a retail shop. But he never gave up on music completely. He performed at local clubs and began to gravitate toward Nashville, where Emmylou Harris, a friend of Gosdin’s from his California days, was laying the foundation for a neo-traditionalist style of country music. Around 1976 Gosdin and Harris cut a demo single consisting of “Hangin …
