The label, home to stars like Ashanti and Ja Rule, has been the focus of a year long federal investigation. 

The New York Post reported the following about the raid: 

“Not only are the agencies involved trying to establish a cash connection between convicted Queens drug lord Kenneth McGriff and Murder Inc. mogul Irv Gotti, but they are probing to see how much of the multimillion-dollar music operation is financed with drug money, sources said. 

“Officials in the Brooklyn U.S. attorney's office believe the players connected to the operation tag along on tours, even riding on buses that carry the stars and their crews, sources said. 

“Investigators suspect that drug profits are used to purchase equipment, food, transportation and hotel rooms.”

The Post also reports that McGriff is the focus of an investigation from the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office that is looking for evidence linking McGriff to “several unsolved shootings connected to the rap world, including the 1995 Midtown attack on Tupac Shakur.”

No arrests connected to possible evidence gathered during the raid had been made at press time.
