HIP HOP DOCS THAT POP :: Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton | This is Stones Throw Records

Stones Throw

In 1996, Chris Manak aka Peanut Butter Wolf founded Stones Throw records. His best friend MC Charles Hicks (Charizma) had just been slain in a carjack attempt and Manak created the label to release their debut album.

Though most well known for bringing the highest caliber underground Hip Hop artists to the forefront - names such as Madlib aka Quasimoto, JRocc, MF Doom, and J Dilla ... the label was always a petri dish for more eclectic artists to do their own thing - whether or not there was a market for it.

Manak's mantra has always been - “I put out what I personally like and save the rest for the other labels out there”

This is his story.
