It was founded by Jason "Jay-E" Epperson, Waiel "Wally Beamin" Yaghnam, Lavelle "City Spud" Webb and Jayson "Koko" Bridges in 1998 after being kicked out of the Saints studio and forced into Jay-E's mom's basement where it later became the new home studio for Basement Beats.

In 2005 Jay-E left the company to pursue other partnerships and establish himself as a renowned club and video dj. BBR was born with the help of Demetrius Bledsoe and Stan Wright, Wally and Koko began to sign upcoming producers and artists to brand and build the label Basement Beats Records.
