Charles Penniman (born December 12, 1978 in Los Angeles, California), better known by his stage name Glasses Malone or G. Malone, is a West Coast rapper from the Watts District of Los Angeles, California. Traitionally associated with The Black Wall Street Records despite the fact that most the artist on the record label were Bloods, Malone signed with Sony Records for 1.7 million dollars in 2005, turning down offers from many labels like Def Jam Records, Interscope Records, J Records, Black Wall Street Records and Atlantic Records. Glasses Malone was found by the same record executive that found The Game. Along with his signing, he was also given his own imprint, Blu Division. His decision to leave The Black Wall Street hasn't affected his relationship negatively with The Game. The Game had a few words to say about Glasses "using his label" on "120 Bars", but both sides are on good terms and have even performed together on stage.
