## History

Kevin Lee and Pierre Thomas initially established Quality Control Music by hiring radio and promotion staff, while they personally ventured into publishing and management. They invested $1 million and one year into building a headquarters in the western part of Atlanta, which holds four recording studios and office spaces.[1]

In 2020, Migos brought a lawsuit against the company.[3]

On February 8, 2023, Quality Control's parent company, QC Media Holdings, was acquired by [Hybe America](/source/Hybe_America) for $300 million, with the founders maintaining control and reporting to the CEO, [Scooter Braun](/source/Scooter_Braun).[4][5]
