Bepop Rodeo: Peanut Butter Wolf

Peanut Butter Wolf’s album My Vinyl Weighs A Ton, was the most acclaimed and successful release of the early years of Stones Throw. By 2000, Wolf relocated the label to Los Angeles, bringing the rapper/producer Madlib along with him, who became the center of the label for many years. When Madlib made Quasimoto’s The Unseen, a helium-voiced alter ego, Stones Throw reached a turning point. From then on, the label defied more and more conventions with each year. Excited as fuck. ‚LA’s Best DJ”- LA Weekly
