The Board Administration (or BOA) is a management company and record label founded in 2009 by Roc Nation-Maybach Music Group rapper Wale and marketing executive Le’Greg O. Harrison.[1][2]
History
Shortly after their launch in 2009 The Board Administration launched a series of monthly events entitled DC Unplugged, which showcased local talent in live venues.[3] During this time Harrison and Wale formally founded the company and Harrison began serving as Wale's tour manager. BOA helped market Wales 2009 album Attention Deficit and his mixtape More about Nothing, a followup to his earlier The Mixtape About Nothing.[4] After this point the company began to introduce affiliated artists such as Black Cobain and Tiara Thomas. BOA also created the production entity The Board Films, through which they showcased Wale.
In 2011 Harrison became Wale's business manager and began working alongside the management team at Roc Nation. They launched a viral marketing campaign for Wale's album Ambition via a mixtape, The Eleven One Eleven Theory.[5]
