Street Scholar Music Group was established in 2008 by CEO Robert "Leo" Rodgers. Rodgers had a vision for a record label that would represent an array of artist with various musical styles from different genres. His idea was to create and distribute music that was street edgy, socially concious and poetic, in hopes of appealing to a diverse audience. No stranger to the streets himself, Rodgers an Oakland Bay area native, always valued the benefits of a good education whether it be academically or socially; in school or on the streets. With this concept in mind he came up with the name Street Scholar Music Group or SSMG. Street Scholar Music Group currently has three artists and one compilation album on it's roster, and in it's infancy as a label is looking to introduce many more talented acts in the very near future. With a clothing line " Street Smartz LTD" derived from the label , Street Scholar is an entity with a fresh appeal, great potential and the ability to cross and break any boundary set before them.
