A Decade of Hits

Dakota South Records is celebrating a decade of success. Their newest album, Dakota South Records: A Decade of Hits dropped on April 8, 2022, showcasing the label’s most popular songs of the last 10 years. Featured are Brandis B. Knudsen (B. of Dakota South Records), Bud

Holly, Damon Perry and juQ, including features from Hopsin, Night Shield, Chris Huisenga, C-NICE-1, Bert Malcom and Nae Nae.

Brandis Knudsen, known as B., is from the Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota and has come a long way in the industry since his label’s first release in 2012. The self-titled debut album B. of Dakota South Records took the Native American music industry by storm, earning multiple award nominations and wins. Since then, he has released OHHH! B. featuring the hit single “Come and Get Your Love” that up-cycled an authorized sample of the hit namesake from Redbone. The combination of the classic 1974 hit and modern hip hop scored him a Single of the Year honour at the Native American Music Awards in New York, and later its music video won the award for Best Hip Hop Video at the L.A. Music Video Awards. Knudsen, however, had no intention of limiting his label and had a vision much wider than personal releases.

During the time of the release of his sophomore album, Knudsen worked extensively in collaboration with juQ and signed him to the Dakota South records label. Soon after, Bud Holly and Damon Perry were signed, and now the label is also home to C-Nice-1 and DJ Hulio to round out their sounds.

The label’s 7th award was earned by Knudsen at the

Indian Summer Music

Awards for the early release single from his upcoming album Full

Name in Lights, called

“What You Left with

Me” (ft. juQ). You can find this and much more on the Decade of Hits album. Knudsen will also be releasing a

10th Anniversary

Remixed Edition of his debut album, B. of Dakota South Records, that will include re-recorded and new guest artists.
