Welcome to Mercenary Records
For 25 years and counting, Jackson, Miss.-based Mercenary Records has been a forerunner in discovering, developing, and delivering some of the brightest talents in rap music to prominence. Located in the heart of the South, this premier powerhouse independent label has one of the longest-running track records in the game for producing underground and radio hits alike.
From the late-1990s supergroup Presidential Playas to the recent rap phenomenon Hollywood Luck, we have played an integral part in the advancement of their music careers. And they all got their start recording in a modest home studio in the Northwest section of the city.
Showcase
Mercenary Records is a specialized facility designed to provide a professional environment for artists and musicians to record, mix, and master their music. We offer a range of benefits that cannot be replicated in a home recording environment, from access to high-end equipment and skilled engineers to the ability to collaborate with other musicians and producers.
One of the most significant benefits of recording in a studio is access to high-quality equipment that is typically unavailable in a home recording setup. We have invested in top-of-the-line equipment, including microphones, preamps, compressors, equalizers, and monitors, to ensure that the recording quality is exceptional. This equipment is often expensive, making it inaccessible for most home studio owners. Moreover, professional equipment is critical in capturing the nuances of a performance and bringing out the best in a musician’s sound.
We are proud to present Mr. Presidential’s hit single featuring Red Boi, Sometimes.
Artists
Recording engineers are experts in capturing, mixing, and mastering audio. They work to bring out the best in a musician’s performance and ensure that the final product is polished and ready for release. In a studio, an experienced engineer can provide invaluable guidance, help you achieve the sound you’re looking for, and ensure that your recording is of the highest quality. They can also offer constructive criticism and suggest ways to improve the recording. Mercenary Records has the talent to get your job done.
We are designed with sound quality in mind. We are acoustically treated to minimize external noise and reflections, creating an environment that is conducive to recording music. This environment allows musicians to concentrate on their performance without distractions and produces a clean, polished sound that is difficult to achieve in a home recording environment.
Working in a recording studio also provides a collaborative environment that can lead to better creative outcomes. Musicians can work with producers, engineers, and other musicians to create the best possible sound. It also allows for experimentation and collaboration, which can help to expand a musician’s sound and bring in new ideas.
