In 2009, Polo Grounds signed Pitbull, following the bankruptcy and closure of his previous label, TVT Records; founder Bryan Leach had previously had involvement with TVT as he was the vice president of A&R since 1998 until 2005. Upon signing, he was granted his own imprint, Mr. 305, Inc. That August, Pitbull released Pitbull Starring in Rebelution, which garnered its multi-platinum hit single, "Hotel Room Service", helping the album top the Billboard rap album chart. The song's success followed up two years later with the release of Planet Pit, and its singles, "Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)" and "Give Me Everything".
