=== Relaunch (2006β2013) === In late 2006, EMI revived Priority Records, and it was supposed to start releasing new records again but never did except for a couple compilation and greatest hits albums from the likes of N.W.A, Westside Connection, Mack 10, and Ice Cube. In 2009, Snoop Dogg was appointed creative chairman of the label; Priority released Snoop Dogg's tenth studio album, ''[[Malice N Wonderland]]'' on December 8, 2009.<ref>{{cite web|title=Snoop Dogg Resurrects Priority Records|url=http://www.xxlmag.com/xxl-magazine/2009/09/snoop-dogg-resurrects-priority-records-in-new-partnership/|website=XXL|date=September 8, 2009}}</ref> In July 2013, Priority was re-launched via a joint venture between [[Capitol Records]] and Insurgency Music. Based at the [[Capitol Records Building]] in [[Los Angeles]], the new Priority Records was a producer centric label that focused on a broader array of music genres, including electronic music as well as urban music.<ref name="barker">{{cite web|last1=Barker|first1=Andrew|title=Priority Records Relaunched as Electronic Music Label|url=https://variety.com/2013/music/news/priority-records-relaunched-as-electronic-music-label-1200566202/|website=Variety|date=July 22, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Priority Records Relaunches Through Capitol, Insurgency; Michael Cohen Named President (Exclusive)|url=https://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/legal-and-management/4113631/priority-records-relaunches-through-capitol|website=Billboard|date=July 22, 2013}}</ref> The lone release under Priority's first relaunch was Snoop Dogg's [[Malice n Wonderland]], which was a commercial failure. Following this, Priority remained dormant.
