Stones Throw

Today I just want to show a little love for Stones Throw Records ... These guys have been at the epicenter of the West Coast hip hop scene for years and years now and in my mind are without a doubt one of the finest independent hip hop labels ever to have existed ... Based in Floss Angeles, Peanut Butter Wolf together with his boys Egon and Mad Lib (who has so many aliases I would run out of space trying to list them all here) continue to push the envelope with every project they are involved in whether it be hip hop, deep funk or sheer musical madness and after an afternoon of listening to Quasimoto, Yesterday's New Quintet and Madvillain I felt that it was only fair for me to give these guys their props ... If you haven't heard of them already you seriously must have been living on Mars for the last decade and if you haven't been converted yet take some time to check out their website - www.stonesthrow.com - and listen to what these guys do ... They are real masters at work and their attention to detail which goes beyond the music they make to the artwork and packaging too is a benchmark for how things should be done ... On top of all that you ain't going to meet much nicer guys either ...
