Sounds Like: We sound like alot of different things. We aren't close minded. There's something for everyone on our roster. We gravitate towards hip-hop, but it's a different type of hip-hop. We don't back music that sticks a knife in the heart of rap. It's time that people see that hip-hop isn't just what they hear on the radio. It's an artform that's basically being murdered by the mainstream. You may hear some of our artists and say "that's not hip-hop". But, you'd be wrong. We'll school your ass. We also dabble in electronic music, rock "ish" type stuff, and even weirdness like chip tunes. We don't strive to make #1 hits (though no doubt we'd embrace it), just music people can respect and enjoy. Word.
