The label is home to Aaliyah, and Timbaland & Magoo. In 1993, Hankerson formed the label, and Aaliyah became its first signee. At the time, Hankerson was managing R.

In 1996 Blackground obtained a lucrative distribution deal with Atlantic Records, just before the release of Aaliyah's second album, One In A Million. Often playing distributor hopscotch, in 2000, Blackground switched over to Virgin Records. One year later, it moved again, this time finding a home at Universal Motown Records Group. As of August 2009, Blackground is searching for a distributing record label. On August 21st, singer JoJo filed a lawsuit against Blackground/Da Family Records after they refused to release the singer from her contract as well as refusing to let her record another album. JoJo wishes to be released from her contract with the labels and asks to receive $500,000 in damages.
