Upon launch in March of that year, the company's initial artists included Usher, Rick Ross, and Snoop Dogg, and later Sexyy Red and French Montana.[2][3][4] Jackson founded the company with US$1 billion in start-up capital with investment from billionaires including Todd Boehly, with "particular and [acute]" focus on Black culture.[5][6]
