Purple Ribbon Records
Purple Ribbon Label is a record label owned by Outkast and distributed through Virgin Records. The label was formerly known as Aquemini Records (named after OutKast's 1998 album) until André 3000 lost interest and pursued acting. Big Boi has taken sole responsibility of the record label and its roster. Slimm Cutta Calhoun was signed to Aquemini but he hasn't been heard of lately. The current artists on the label are Konkrete and Janelle Monáe. On July 30, 2008, Big Boi announced on DJ Envy's radio show that he recently signed the Marietta, Georgia live hip-hop/pop band Vonnegutt. Big Boi later confirmed this signing on The Smoking Section and Allhiphop.com.
On 24 June 2006 Killer Mike released the diss track "I Promise I Will Not Lose", aimed at C Bone of Konkrete.
