Founded by entrepreneur and creative visionary Zo, Judgmental Records is rooted in independence, authenticity, and artistic control. Based in Delaware, the label aims to shine a light on underrepresented voices who have something real to say—artists with grit, story, and the ability to move people beyond algorithms and metrics. Announcing partnerships with Lamont Graves of the Graves Firm & Vydia; and Rel Carter of Roc Nation Distribution.
“Judgmental Records isn’t about being flashy,” says Zo, “we’re about being fearless. N.O. and Krillz embody that. Heavy is the Head is a project that comes from pain, pride, and power—and that’s the kind of energy we stand behind, and GK’s new EP is being executive produced by Young Guru on the horizon with an array of other projects under the Roc Nation Distribution umbrella.
The label is currently developing a roster of artists and producers across Hip-hop and R&B, with plans to expand into film, live events, and original content in 2026.
