RCA Records originally handled distribution for Chelsea, but Farrell switched to independent distributors in 1974,[4] and later did its own distribution.[5] Ultimately, RCA absorbed the label in 1977.[6] In 2018, Boston Rapper MC Spice The Legend formed a new record label named Roxbury Records(no relation to the former label, which folded in 1977). MC Spice The Legend released his album "Grown Folk Hiphop" on Roxbury Records and distributed it through PayUp Records and Empire Distribution.
