About Me

The independent label Quannum Projects was first conceived in 1991 as a collective by the artists Blackalicious, DJ Shadow, Lateef, Lyrics Born and the journalists DJ Zen (Jeff Chang) and Jazzbo (Joseph Patel), under the moniker Solesides Records. Now headquartered in San Francisco, Quannum has grown to be one of the nations leading independent labels, having sold over 2 million records since its inception. Before evolving into Quannum in 1997, Solesides released such seminal recordings as Shadow's "Entropy" and Blackalicious' "Alphabet Aerobics," as well as Latyrx' "Lady Don't Tek No" and "Balcony Beach," leading a wave of independent hip-hop from Northern California and beyond. Quannum then went on to massive grassroots success with the release of Blackalicious debut Nia in 2000. That same year marked the arrival of a new group into the Quannum fold, Portland's Lifesavas, whose debut album Spirit in Stone quickly became a hip-hop classic. The collective earned critical and commercial success most recently with Lyrics Borns masterpiece Later That Day (2003) and the follow-up remix project Same !@..$ Different Day (2005), notably with the hit single Callin Out. The Quannum family has continued to expand with releases from such diverse artists as So Paulos Curumin, vintage keyboard guru General Elektriks, the electronic hip-hop duo Apsci, LA-based MC Pigeon John and the Bay Areas own skateboarding legend Tommy Guerrero. The label has also secured numerous licensing deals and partnerships with companies such as Coca Cola, Motorola Toyota, Nike, Adidas, HBO, ESPN, EA Sports and the major motion pictures Abandon and Collateral.
Oh and also we are dope. Crazy dope.
