Including one of the most successful independent hip-hop record labels, Duck Down.

Krazy Drayz (of Das EFX): Illegal Activity to Bum Stiggedy
48m · PublishedThe contributions of Krazy Drayz and the iconic duo he created, Das EFX, are often overlooked. His rise from being an Jamaican-immigrant-turned-New-Jersey-resident into an iconic Hip-Hop superstar was so rapid and groundbreaking that it didn't take long for biters to swarm. If it wasn't for their innovative style, there would be no Kriss Kross "Jump". If it wasn't for their creative lingo, there wouldn't be a Blackstreet "No Diggity". And most notably, if it wasn't for their fashion sense, there wouldn't be an entire wave of NY streetwear. Come listen to how Drayz developed his persona and turned it into a legacy that will live on forever.

J-Ro (of Tha Alkaholiks): Fila Shop to Mic Drop
38m · PublishedJames "J-Ro" Robinson and The Alkaholiks brought a whole new sound to West Coast Hip-Hop in the early 90's, fusing East-Coast inspired, sample-chopped tracks, with laid back, punchline-riddled Cali flows. However, the journey to the top wasn't easy.
