Melvin Breeden, also known by his stage name Mel-Man, is an American record executive from Norfolk, Virginia. With Marlon "Big Cat" Rowe, he co-founded the independent record label Big Cat Records in 1999. Having signed hip hop artists such as Gucci Mane, Rasheeda and Khia, entertainment magazine Billboard named the label one of the Top Rap Labels of 2005. ^[1]

Breeden served as executive producer for Atlanta-based rapper Gucci Mane's first three studio albums, before his contract was bought out by Atlantic Records. Mane was upset with Big Cat Records following the unauthorized release of his final album with the label, Murder Was The Case (2009), although Breeden and Mane made amends the following year. ^[2]
