Highway Entertainment Records is a record label that was founded in 2005 by
Robert-James Lee (R.O.B.) and Nathaniel Smith, jr. (Nate). It is located between
the outskirts of two small towns, Ferriday and Clayton, LA. The label was
started because the founders knew that the chances of them scoring a deal from a
major would be nearly impossible to achieve from the area where they resided.
The idea was to start a label, create a unique style and just make good music
for fans everywhere to hear. For the past 4 years they have basically been
honing their skills to be able to compete on a mainstream level. They have
however, managed to release 3 albums prior to the release of their lastest album
"Concordia's Finest".
Their work includes:
Hwy E. Presents: The Compilation vol. 1 - Officially Released Album 2005
Operation Shutdown: The Compilation vol. 2 - Street Album 2006 (officially released by Sonicwave International)
Players & Hustlers - Street Album 2007
Concordia's finest is the first album where everything from the production,
recording, mixing and mastering was done in-house. Hwy E brings a type of new
school feeling hip hop flavor for your ears. The current group consists of 6
individuals.
Robin - female vocalist/rapper
Nate - rapper/producer/male vocalist
R.O.B. - producer/rapper/mix engineer
ill Friss - rapper/producer
Flamez - rapper/producer
Lloyd Boi - rapper/producer/dj engineer
This is the beginning of something new. Expect Hwy E to make good music for the next several years to come.
