TOP NOTCH ENT. & RECORDS

IT'S OFFICIAL THE ..1 INDEPENDENT URBAN RECORD STORE IN SOUTHEREN MASS. HAS ENTERED THE MY SPACE.COM ERA!!! FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THE NAME ITSELF, TOP NOTCH, HAS A LONG HISTORY IN MASS. AS ONE OF THE FIRST OG'S IN THE HIP-HOP MOVEMENT. STARTING IN 1987 TOP NOTCH RECORDS WAS BORN WITH ITS FIRST RELEASE OF "JUICE IT UP". NOT ON CD, NOT ON TAPE, BUT ON VINYL 12", WHICH WAS THE NORM BACK IN THE DAYS. IN 1988, TOP NOTCH WAS ONE THE FIRST LABELS RECOGNIZED IN THE SOURCE MAGAZINE'S FIRST ISSUE EVER. TOP NOTCH WENT ON TO BECOME THE PREMIERE CONCERT PROMOTOR IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY BRINGING O.C., FAT JOE, BIG PUN (R.I.P.), SPECIAL K AND TEDDY TED, RAKIM, AND MANY OTHERS AT A TIME WHEN NO ONE WAS BRINGING LIVE RAP ENTERTAINMENT TO THAT AREA. THAT WAS WHEN TOP NOTCH ENTERTAINMENT AND RECORDS AND TOP NOTCH ENTERTAINMENT AND MULTIMEDIA WAS BORN. THE NEXT GIANT STEP FOR TOP NOTCH ENTERTAINMENT WAS THE LAUNCHING OF THE CAREERS OF DUSK 'TIL DAWN AND K.T. ON A NATIONAL LEVEL. WE DID THE HBO SPECIAL: BLAZE BATTLE, DROPPED TWO ALBUMS, PREMIERED THESE ARTISTS ON MOTOWN RECORDS AND RAWKUS RECORDS, AND CEATED A BUZZ LIKE NO OTHER AT A TIME WHEN HIP-HOP IN THIS AREA WAS NONEXISTENT. WOW! ALL THAT AND WE AINT EVEN STARTED YET! IN 2004, TOP NOTCH ENTERTAINMENT AND RECORDS WAS OPENED IN BROCKTON WITH OPEN ARMS TO A CITY THAT WAS LONG OVERDUE. WE CONSIDER OURSELVES THE "URBAN NEWBURY COMICS". AGAIN WE ARE GIVING LOCAL ARTISTS A VOICE TO SHINE LIKE THE STARS THEY ARE. WE OFFER CD'S, DVD'S, VINYL (FOR THOSE WHO KEEP THE TRUE ART FORM ALIVE), INCENSE, BODY OILS, STREET MAGAZINES, AND SPECIALTY T-SHIRTS. OUR NUMBER 1 GOAL AT TNE IS TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE HIP-HOP IN ITS PUREST FORM BECAUSE THATS THE ONLY WAY IT SHOULD BE CONSUMED. ANYTHING ELSE WOULD BE UNCIVILIZED! COME CHECK US OUT AT 79 COURT ST. (DOWNTOWN) BROCKTON, MA. MON-SAT: 12PM-9PM. (508)587-8637. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
