remember those underground rap labels from the late '90s -early 2000's

[Big Mel]

These were all quality labels. Asheru & Blue Black's "Soon Come" was probably the best 7 heads release.

I remember B.U.K.A. and Uncle Howie. UH had all the dope Non-Phixion/Goretex/Necro/Ill Bill releated stuff.

BAttle Axe has Swollen Members and some other west coast indie rappers on it.

BArak released Slum Village's "Fantastic Vol 1." and "Fantastic Vol. 2". Did they put out the J-88 album?

J-88 is actually in GrooveAttack. German label.

Rawkus and Eastern Conference ran shyt back then, they put out so much classic music. The death row/bad boy of the underground

Brick records was a good one to

Rawkus was putting out heat....... then the mca deal killed every thing
