LaFace Records was originally a joint venture between producers Antonio "LA" Reid and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Arista Records. The label was acquired completely by Arista in 1999, and was disolved as a separate entity. In 2004, after the corporate restructuring of the BMG labels, LaFace was resurrected as the conglomerate's main R&B/hip hop music division
Among the most popular LaFace acts are TLC, OutKast, Usher, Goodie Mob, Cee-Lo, Toni Braxton, and Ciara.
