May 21st
“Triumphant” is released on this day. This mixtape from Krazy and Pskitz, who was a musical partner of Krazy at the time, was originally recorded in 2009, but remained unreleased until NuSounds took up distribution duties in 2014.
Oct. 28th
Compilation album “NuSounds or Nothing Vol. 2” drops, built on the same three‑tier formula as Vol. 1: solo cuts, outside guest features, and fresh collabs between labelmates. Bizzy Bone (Bone Thugs‑N‑Harmony) guests on “The Message,” alongside Krazy, Jahni Denver, and Indigenous People.
Vol. 2 ends up a curtain‑call for the original NuSounds Global lineup. Over the following months DeSix, Krazy, and Tres Aurland peel off amicably to pursue new paths, and Klassic steps back for an extended personal hiatus. With their departure, NuSounds slips into dormancy, closing the first era of the label.
