Rapper Kid Cudi recently made headlines by announcing plans to start his own label. This isn't a surprise. Plenty of musicians start their own "vanity labels" after achieving success. And if they're not successful, they created their own labels because no one else would publish their music.
The reason Kid Cudi's label turned heads is its silly name, Wicked Awesome Records. No one is sure why he chose it. He's not from Massachusetts, where that's a common phrase. He's from Cleveland, so "F--- Off, LeBron Records" would have made more sense. You can follow the logic behind most vanity label names. Paris Hilton has Heiress Records. Jack White started Third Man Records because his favorite number is "three." Still others, like Cudi's, are just laughable. Let's take a look.
1. Demonstealer Records
Did you know there is a death metal scene in India? That's right and the band Demonic Resurrection is at the forefront. In 2005, they began Demonstealer to distribute their and their friends' music. We get the whole "demon" thing with death metal and all. But how does one steal a demon? And why would they want to? If you're in an Indian death metal band, you already have plenty of your own demons.
