Las Vegas is becoming a home for many hip hop and rap record labels and there are some big things going on in Vegas. Las Vegas has roots in hip hop. It was the place where one of the iconic figures of hip hop culture was assassinated; Tupac Shakur (2Pac).

When we think of Las Vegas now we can see a future in hip hop culture and we can remember but we do not have to dwell on the past.

One such venture coming out of Las Vegas is ‘Music Man Veteran’, producer, manager, Morey Alexander, who helped unleash the legendary gangsta rap group N.W.A on the world, has based his FirstKut Records in Las Vegas.

Morey Alexander and his crew of FirstKut specialize in Hip Hop, Rap, Reggaeton, and R&B. FirstKut is home to Hip Hop and Rap artist like Slick and the Shock Mob, Tony Assassino, The Latin Alliance, Canibus and Phoenix Orion, The YungStars, Lil Conspiracy, and newly signed west coast Latino rap artist Joe Serious and more. FirstKut has partnered with Dr. Mutulu Shakur (the father of the late hip hop icon Tupac Shakur) and DeeJay Ra to produce the new Tupac (2Pac) tribute album "Dare 2 Struggle".
