History

Bass Sultan Hengzt was signed in 2005, but left shortly after the release of his album ''Rap braucht immer noch kein Abitur''. DJ Ilan and DJ Devin also left, due to personal issues, and were replaced by producers Chakuza and DJ Stickle, alias Beatlefield.Interview mit Bushido auf dj-qpin.com
Two more artists were signed little later: Screwaholic now part of Anno Domini Nation, a producer, and Bizzy Montana, a rapper and producer. Female rapper Bahar left the label, because in her opinion it did not provide the possibility of a successful album release. Nyze, who had been on several ersguterjunge releases, was signed in December 2006 and his album ''Geben & Nehmen'' was released in January 2007. Eko Fresh also signed in the same month, and Saad renewed his contract to release another album.Eko unterschreibt bei egj, Saad verlängert seinen Vertrag (hiphop.de)
