BETA Records - Your music matters!

In recent years, the Hip Hop World in general has overlooked the state of South Carolina as a

source of talent for the music industry. However, Never Faded Records has pledged to put a stop to this by

providing a profound remedy to this situation . We have assembled the best artists in the state of SC.

NFR was founded by Akili McClam (aka Big Cheif Killa), and Mary W. McFarlin in 2002.

Never Faded represents the best of what South Carolina Hip Hop has to offer. Many other unsigned

artists and independent labels in the state choose to emulate the sounds of New York and other states,

but NFR has always had a unique and truly "southern" sound from their first Carolina Cartel release on

it’s label, "This is How We Do It" (2002), to 2003's "One Mo Gain", all the way up to their most recent

release, M-Clan's "Blood's Thicker Than Water" (2005).

The backbone of Never Faded unique southern sound is it's very own in-house production

team, N.F. Productions. very own Killaman (aka Big Cheif Killa) is a producer with a style all of his own,

with the ability to create styles ranging from ,bounce, hardcore hip hop, to R&B. With productions on 6

LP’s in the last two years, Killaman definitely have the skills to pay the bills.

M-CLAN, is comprised of four family members Big Cheif Killa, Razer Lace, Cool Steve, and Jeff

Dog all of whom are hot and ready for the world, their most recent debut LP "blood's thicker than water"

details life in South Carolina from their points view. this LP is unique in many ways, the overall sound is

definitely new and fresh. sound like no one else but, to put out a style that no matter where you’re from,

people will know that this music is from South Carolina.

Presently we have several projects in the works, Killaman debut lap "the chief" is

scheduled for June 2005 release. Lace (Razer Lace) solo R&B LP (not title as yet) is scheduled for

August 2005 .M-CLAN's "blood's thicker than water pt2" is also scheduled for August 2005.
