'''Interscope Records''' is an American record label, owned by Universal Music Group, and operates as one third of UMG's Interscope-Geffen-A&M label group. Though Interscope initially made a name for itself as a label dealing heavily in hip-hop, by the mid 1990s, its range began to expand and, subsequently, the company would eventually experience success with artists in all genres, for example, the Industrial Rock group Nine Inch Nails (Nothing Records). In 1998, following UMG's acquisition of PolyGram—Geffen Records and A&M Records were merged into Interscope, making it the extremely powerful and leading unit at UMG that it is today. In 2005, Interscope launched a new imprint, Cherrytree Records for emerging artists, beginning with Oakland, CA's The Lovemakers. They are also working with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Wesley Jonathan. | '''Interscope Records''' is an American record label, owned by Universal Music Group, and operates as one third of UMG's Interscope-Geffen-A&M label group.
