==History==
===Origins===
Wu-Chang Records was founded in 2019 by Mr. Kebun (then known as Mr. Chang) & Vinny Pistone. The label was named after then Chang Gang leader, Mr. Chang. 
Vinny and Mr. Chang unofficially signed Lil Erf as the label's first artist, after the debut of his hit song "Guerilla Warfare (Chang Gang)" in March 2019. (see below)

===Restructure===
On September 11, 2022, the now former label manager Harry Martinez proposed a staffing restructure of Wu Chang to Mr. Kebun, to which he approved. The restructure moved around important employees, and made Harry the CEO. Around this time, Wu-Chang also began offering life time contracts as a way to reward the most loyal label artists, who have stayed with the label through good times and rough times. Due to Harry's work, Wu Chang went from being dependent on CG to a self running Label.
===Events===
====Events of December 2022====
In the month of December 2022, the record label had a variety of events that shook the business. Harry initially convened meetings to reorganize and fire artists and employees who had no productivity in the past months. The decision rattled many who were affected by it, including Wu Chang's star group the Bimbos, who were later rehired. It was a difficult decision for Harry, but it nearly evened out with the awards show and label relations.
Wu Chang not only gathered winners for the first NoPixel Music Awards with an overwhelming majority, but as the weeks passed, the label also dealt a good hand with two significant rival record labels.
It was the independent label Down Bad Records that was bought for $1,000,000 from its owner Dick Chiclets. The purchased record company’s studio was also free for Wu Chang to restart DBR as another sub-label within WC. Another surprising move was the hiring of Outto-Tune Tyrone as COO of Wu Chang, the owner of Creampie Creations. OTT was employed when Mr. K made the offer to him during their discussion of the music awards' aftermath. Soon after, several Wu Chang employees expressed their mixed feelings, stating that OTT's promotion would shake things up and how it would impact on Harry's leadership.
====Events of the first half of 2023====
In the month of February 2023, Party Hardy was elected as the new CEO of Wu Chang. This new age of Wu Chang was called "The Party Era." He held over 20 events with high attendance for each of them. Including another Wu Chang Masquerade, "Hip-Hip Skyline," and many additions of "Big Wu Wednesday." Wu Chang Artists were also heavily featured in Pride 2023, the likes of Noelle Ablisa, Bimbos, Mia Beyern, Valentine Dalla, and the debuts of two new girl groups: 5upernova and Black Barbies all included.
Zoey Levy, Linx Jones, Daphne Malone, and Karen O'fhell were all made executives. Hip-Hop and marketing became a major focus of the company. In July, a new season of Wu-Chang Idol started, and finished with an impressive win from Carmella Corset over Zoë Bee. Carmella was awarded 1.5 million dollars and an Orange Diamond Trophy. Shortly after, an executive meeting was held, where Party announced Windstock and WuChella for the second half of 2023.
==== Events of the second half of 2023 ====
Windstock and WuChella were huge events and massively successful. Even during this busy season, the company continued to hold many music events in the city. In November, Party Hardy went on to create the second ever NoPixel Music Awards! It was a controversial event, but another success for the music industry. The year of 2023 ended with an event called "WuChang Forever." It was the end of this era for WuChang Records. Party gave out tickets for all of the artists to go on world tours for the next five years.
