The history of groundbreaking Hip-Hop label Profile Records will be chronicled in a new double CD/digital release titled Giant Record: Profile Records Rap Anthology.

Profile Records was originally founded as a 12-inch dance singles label in 1979, by Cory Robbins and Steve Plotnicki.

The pair borrowed $34,000 from their parents to start Profile, but the label had little success in the first two years of operation.

In 1981, with only $2,000 left, the label landed its first hit via a Hip-Hop record, with the release of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’s classic single “Genius Rap.”

The record, which featured future Uptown Records executive Andrea Harrell, sold over 150,000 copies for Profile Records.

Over the years, Profile Records has released classics by numerous Hip-Hop artists, including the seminal releases by pioneers Run-DMC, who signed to the label for a $3,000 advance.

“Profile Records wasn’t the first successful rap label,” writes Hip-Hop journalist Dan Charnas in the liner notes. “But Profile’s openness to this new form of music made the company a pioneer in so many other vital ways: The first record label to produce true rap ‘stars’ who crossed over to the mainstream. The first to earn gold, platinum and multi-platinum rap albums. The first to get rap videos on MTV. The first to treat rap with the dignity accorded other genres of music.”

Artists like Dana Dane, Special Ed, Rob Base, DJ Quik, Nine, Poor Righteous Teachers, Onyx, Camp Lo, Disco Four are featured on Giant Record: Profile Records Rap Anthology.

The 31-track CD/digital anthology is due in stores on January 31, 2012.

Actress Denise Vasi has landed a role on Queen Latifah’s hit scripted series “Single Ladies,” which airs on VH1.

Next month, Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit Entertainment will begin filming the second season of “Single Ladies,” which also stars returning actresses LisaRaye McCoy and Charity Shea.

In the new season, Denise Vasi will star as “Raquel,” a close friend of Keisha, who is played by LisaRaye McCoy.

“Raquel” is a savvy business woman from a prominent Southern family who is on a quest to “discover passion.”

Denise Vasi has had been featured in USA’s “White Collar” and ABC’s “All My Children.”

“Denise is the perfect addition to the ‘Single Ladies’ cast,” Flavor Unit Entertainment Executive Producer Queen Latifah said in a statement. “She is bringing a fun, new element to the show.”

“Single Ladies” centers around the relationships of Keisha, Raquel and April, three best friends with different philosophies on relationships, love and sex.

Last season’s show garnered an average of 2.8 million total viewers for VH1, making it one of the network’s most popular shows.

“We are thrilled to welcome Denise to the cast of ‘Single Ladies,’” said Jeff Olde, EVP Original Production and Programming, VH1. “It was a rare and wonderful moment during the audition when everyone in the room immediately knew we had found our ‘Raquel.’ Denise’s beauty, style, grace and humor leap from the screen and we can’t wait to share her with our viewers and fans of the show.”

Season two of “Single Ladies” will begin filming in Atlanta in January, while the series is slated to premiere early in the summer of 2012 on VH1.
