About Me

ropeadope is the fiercely independent record label that was born in brooklyn in 1999. staying true to it's name, ropeadope has stood strong in the face of adversity and managed to stay alive in this business of music and now stands proud from it's little perch just outside of philly where it continues to put out it's patented mix of genre-hopping sounds and styles that spans themusical universe. not satisfied with simply being in your ear-holes, ropeadope also decided it wanted to lay on top of your chest and created some of the hottest t-shirts this side of kicksville and the ropeadope line of clothing which you can find online. all in good time. there's bound to be something you'll find, and itsn't it fun to say? ropeadope, coming your way.
