- Uptown Records was an American record label, founded by Andre Harrell in 1986. It went on to become one of the most popular hip-hop and R&B labels of the early 1990s. Featured on the roster were such luminaries as Guy, Heavy D & The Boyz, Al B. Sure!, Jeff Redd, Christopher Williams, Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, Finesse & Synquis, Father MC, Monifah, Soul for Real and Horace Brown. Uptown was a training ground of sorts for Sean "Puffy" Combs, who began his career there as an intern and later became a top executive. Combs was instrumental in the development of Jodeci, Father MC and Mary J. Blige. He was fired from Uptown in 1993, and went on to establish Bad Boy Records, taking newly discovered hip-hop artist The Notorious B.I.G. with him. The label's products were at first distributed by various record companies. For example, Christopher Williams' debut album "Adventures in Paradise" was distributed by Geffen Records, The Gyrlz' debut album "Love Me Or Leave Me was distributed by Capitol and Al B. Sure!'s debut album "In Effect Mode" was distributed by Warner Bros. Records, then the distributor for Geffen. But by 1990 nearly all releases were being distributed by MCA Records, which had recently bought Geffen. Harrell left Uptown in 1996 to become the CEO of Motown Records, and Heavy D moved into the role of Uptown's president and CEO. The same year, Uptown was repositioned to operate under the newly established Universal Records umbrella. By 1999, Uptown Records was absorbed into Universal Records. Subsequently, many of Uptown's artists (with the exception of Monifah and Soul for Real) were moved to the MCA roster. Today the label is a part of Universal Motown Republic Group, but remains defunct. Its remaining artists still with Universal Music Group generally record for Universal Motown, still a major urban music label in the present day.

Puffy fue despedido de Uptown en 1993, y fundó Bad Boy Records, llevándose un nuevo rapero consigo como The Notorious B.I.G. El sello fue adquirido por MCA Records en 1990.

- La Uptown Records è un'etichetta discografica hip hop e R'n'B statunitense, fondata da Andre Harrell negli anni ottanta. Nei primi anni novanta diventa una delle etichette più importanti del genere, avendo il contratto di numerosi artisti, tra cui Heavy D, Christopher Wallace, Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, Father Mc, Monifah e Soul 4 Real. L'etichetta da il via alla carriera del produttore Sean Combs, che inizia qui a fare le prime esperienze nell'ambiente musicale, ed arriva a fondare la propria etichetta, la Bad Boy Records, portando con sé il rapper di Brooklyn The Notorious B.I.G.. Nel 1987 l'etichetta viene acquistata dalla MCA Records. Nel 1996 Harrel lascia l'etichetta per diventare amministratore delegato della Motown Records, lasciando il posto ad Heavy D. Lo stesso anno l'etichetta viene venduta alla neonata universal Records, vedendo però passare la maggior parte degli artisti tra le file della MCA. Dalla fine degli anni 90 smette di produrre materiale, pur rimanendo parte della Universal Motown Records Group.
