When Cold Chillin' Records was formed in 1986, it was initially distributed by Prism, but label head Tyrone Williams and Fichtelberg decided to merge their companies. As a result, in 1989, the Prism name was phased out in favor of the new name. In 1987, Cold Chillin' signed a 5-year distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records. The first two Cold Chillin' releases through Warner Bros. (which, incidentally, were the second and third overall Cold Chillin' albums to be released) had the legend A Prism Records Production written on them. As Warner Bros. Records' premier hip-hop-based subsidiary label, Cold Chillin' released many classic records in the late 1980s and early 1990s from such notable acts as Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie,Warp 9, Kool G. Rap, GZA, Roxanne Shanté, Marley Marl, and the one-time featured on Prism Records artist Glamorous (Jo Ann Berry), with her singles "Good to Go" and "I Know You Want Me." She was also featured on the singles "Juice Crew All-Stars" and "Evolution" produced by Marley Marl released on Cold Chillin' Records in 1987. As the 1990s progressed though, the label began to flounder. Its deal with Warner Bros. ended, and it began having its records released through Epic Records. Cold Chillin', however, continued to lose steam, and folded in 1998. Today the namesake is still used on its reissues and the catalog and trademark, save for the recordings of Big Daddy Kane and Kool G. Rap's 4,5,6, are now owned by LandSpeed Records, a division of Traffic Entertainment Group. The rights of the Prism catalogue, however, were acquired by Canada-based independent label Unidisc Records. There is no connection between the Prism Records of this article and the Prism Records bootleg CD manufacturer of 1994–1998 that was known for Dream Theater and Rush releases. (en)
- La Prism Records è stata una etichetta discografica statunitense fondata nel 1978. Inizialmente si trattava di una etichetta indipendente, che focalizzava il proprio lavoro discografico sulla scena dell'R&B e della disco music di New York. Negli anni 1980, la Prism ottenne un contratto di distribuzione con la Warner Brothers Records e spostò la propria attenzione sul genere hip hop che in quel periodo iniziava a farsi conoscere al di fuori dell'underground newyorkese. Nel 1989 la casa discografica si diede il nuovo nome di Cold Chillin' Records. Come più importante sussidiaria della Warner Bros. per il genere hip hop, la Cold Chillin' pubblicò molti tra i dischi classici del genere alla fine degli anni '80 ed all'inizio della decade successiva, tra cui i successi di artisti quali Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, la Juice Crew e Marley Marl. Mentre l'hip hop negli anni '90 ha subito una evoluzione a dir poco tumultuosa, l'etichetta Cold Chillin ha cominciato ad avere problemi, lasciando successivamente la Warner e siglando un accordo con la Epic Records. Tuttavia l'etichetta ha continuato a perdere fette di mercato fino a scomparire nel 1998. Oggi il nome dell'etichetta è utilizzato ancora sulle relative riedizioni. Non ci sono inoltre collegamenti tra la Prism Records qui descritta e la Prism Records bootleg CD manufacturer attiva negli anni 1994-1998, conosciuta come Dream Theater and Rush releases. (it)
