In 2002, DCide entered into a partnership with [[Geffen Records]] to release the debut record from [[Trust Company (band)|TRUSTcompany]] out of [[Montgomery, Alabama]]. TRUSTcompany's guitar driven rock evokes memories of the [[Smashing Pumpkins]] with [[Deftones]]-like vocal stylings and bottom heavy riffing reminiscent of [[Led Zeppelin]]. TRUSTcompany enjoyed both critical and commercial success as their debut album "[[The Lonely Position of Neutral]]" went on to be certified Gold.

TRUSTcompany’s sophomore record "[[True Parallels]]" was released by DCide/Geffen in March 2005.  In 2009, DCide/Templar Label Group released the debut EP's from [[Shabazz Palaces]], the new project from Ishmael Butler, the creator, rapper and producer for the Grammy award winning rap group [[Digable Planets]]. DCide began its relationship with Butler with its 2003 release of his first post Digable Planets project, [[Cherrywine]].  In 2011, DCide will release "[[Well-Done (album)|Well-Done]]" a collaboration album by [[Action Bronson]] and [[Statik Selektah]].
