The Rise & Fall of Uptown Records by Jimmy Luv Jerkins (Co-founder of Uptown)

The Uptown story starts with its founding in 1986 via a $75,000 deal with MCA for a compilation album and effectively ends with Andre exiting to run Motown Records with a contract worth millions. Jimmy Jenkins, also known as Jimmy Luvs or “JLuvs”, had previously been the Vice President of Uptown Records alongside Andre’ Harrell. Jimmy “Luv” Jenkins – “Andre was the visionary of every record label that came behind us. The blueprint was Uptown. Without him, the spirit of the party ain’t go be the same because through any tragedy or anything we always party. That’s how we grieve, that’s how we celebrated, and that’s how we love.” #Uptown #NewJackSwing #AndreHarrell Halftime Chat is your home for RnB, New Jack Swing and Old School Hip Hop.
