In-A-Minute Records was a record company founded in 1991 by Jason Blaine. It featured many artists from the underground bay area rap scene including RBL Posse, Andre Nickatina , I.M.P , Pooh-Man , Totally Insane and Just-Ice. The label was shut down in 2000 due to unknown reasons.

Origins and early formation

The label was founded in 1991 in Oakland California by Jason Blaine who was disappointed by the fact that many rappers in the bay area were unsigned at the time.[1] He offered RBL Posse $10000 ahead of time to sign to his label which they quickly accepted due to the fact that they were still selling tapes on the street [1] Although the label never had any major commercially successful albums, Andre Nickatina's 1995 album I Hate You With a Passion appeared #79 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #3 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
