Quality Control Music[1] (also known as Quality Control or QC) is an American hip hop record label founded by Kevin "Coach K" Lee (COO) and Pierre "P" Thomas (CEO) in March 2013.[2] The label's releases are distributed through Motown and Virgin Music, subsidiaries of Capitol Music Group and Virgin Music Group respectively. Tamika Howard and Simone Mitchell are executives of the label, with Howard serving as its general manager.[2]

The label has many acts signed, including Migos, Lil Yachty, Lil Baby, and the City Girls. The label also has Cardi B signed under a management deal.

## History[edit]

Kevin Lee and Pierre Thomas initially established Quality Control Music by hiring radio and promotion staff, while they personally ventured into publishing and management. They invested $1 million and one year into building a headquarters in the western part of Atlanta, which holds four recording studios and office spaces.[1]

In 2020, Migos brought a lawsuit against the company.[3]

On February 8, 2023, Quality Control's parent company, QC Media Holdings, was acquired by Hybe America for $300 million, with the founders maintaining control and reporting to the CEO, Scooter Braun.[4][5]
