WEB Entertainment was a Detroit-based record label run by the Bass Brothers. It is best known for producing both of Eminem's independent albums, Infinite and the Slim Shady EP, before he signed to Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.[1]

WEB Entertainment has been credited on each one of Eminem's major-label albums up to The Marshall Mathers LP 2, and the Bass Brothers have continued to produce and co-produce most of his tracks up to The Eminem Show.[2]

Detroit-based horrorcore artist King Gordy released his debut album titled The Entity, via WEB Entertainment in 2003. In that same year, power-pop band The Romantics released their 61/49.

In 2010, WEB Entertainment released an EP by Detroit deaf rapper Sean Forbes called "I'm Deaf" in 2010 with a music video also called "I'm Deaf" which has received national praise from Mitch Albom in Parade Magazine.
