The Black Wall Street Records is a recording company founded by The Game and his half-brother Big Fase 100 in 2002. The label is named after The Black Wall Street, a segregated black business district in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the early 1900s, which was eventually burned to the ground in the Tulsa Race Riot.

Big Fase 100, the main co-founder, officially left the label after internal problems began between him and The Game. Since then, Big Fase 100 went on to start his own record label called "Brazil & Wilmington Records". Currently the only project that The Black Wall Street has released as a group is a mixtape called The Black Wall Street Journal Vol. 1 . The label has a distribution deal with Capitol Records. Former artists who have been on The Black Wall Street include: Ya Boy, Eastwood, Glasses Malone, Techniec, Young Life, Cyssero, Vita, and Charli Baltimore.

The Black Wall Street Records will release The Black Wall Street Journal Vol. 2 during Spring 2007.
