The STUBBORN RECORDS label was started in 1992 by King Django to release Tales of the Red , SKINNERBOX 's first album. In the years that followed with a slow but steady stream of music coming out of Django's Version City Studio, Stubborn Records defined the sound of New York's traditional ska/rocksteady/reggae scene. With heroes like Prince Buster, Coxsone Dodd and Duke Reid and artists like Skinnerbox , Stubborn All-Stars , Victor Rice , Crazy Baldhead , Rocker T , King Django , The Radiation Kings , Cold Spot 8 and Version City Rockers , Stubborn's path was clear. Based around the old-school Jamaican studio system and techniques and excercising stringent musical and technical standards, the Stubborn label has developed a catalog of lasting worth and deep impact despite its relatively small size. Stubborn releases are not trendy or "of-the-moment." They are solid and timeless. With fifteen CD releases and eight 7" releases on the Stubborn label proper and many other releases licensed to Moon Ska Records, Profile/Another Planet, Triple Crown Records, Grover Records, Asian Man Records, Jump Start Records, Megalith Records and others, Stubborn has had an indelible influence on the sound of international ska, rocksteady, reggae and dub.

Ska's not dead... it's Stubborn!
