Label Code: LC 21478 Next Plateau Entertainment (formerly known as Next Plateau Records) is an American record label, which currently operates in association with Universal Records, under the Universal Republic Records Group. Formed in 1984 as an independent label, its initial focus was on the emerging New York Latino dance and hip hop music scene. As the 1980s evolved, the company earned substantial funds for a fully independent label, thanks heavily in part to the success of Salt N Pepa, its biggest-selling act to date. via Discogs →
