	Battery Records (hip-hop) Battery Records was a hip-hop label started by Neil Levine under Zomba Label Group, which is owned by Sony Music Entertainment.

The label primarily focuses on new talent, often overseeing early-stage development for acts that are destined for other labels such as J Records or Jive. However, it also serves established artists looking for non-traditional deals, such as releasing Q-Tip's solo album '' Kamaal the Abstract'', which had been shelved nearly seven years prior. In September 2011 Levine left Battery before Jive shut down in the following month. Artists 6 Tre G Ace Valentine * Chalie Boy D.C.
