UP ABOVE RECORDS EST. 1995
Exposing progressive sounds from the hottest new voices from the West Coast, combined with East Coast classic heavy-hitters has gained Up Above Records the reputation as the bi-costal hip-hop indie label to watch for.
Rooted in the bubbling Los Angeles music scene, the Up Above Records groundbreaking release was Key-Kool & Rhettmatic's debut album Kozmonautz in 1995. The Source Magazine, Rap Pages and URB Magazine gave much critical praise to the album, and the 12inch singles were a favorite amongst college and major radio mix-show DJ's; however, due to distribution woes, the full length CD was a difficult find for hungry hip-hop heads, and remains an underground cult-classic and a rare find.
Up Above Records made a potent impact in 1997, introducing the world to L.A. underground heroes the Visionaries. With no promotion budget, the Visionaries adopted a grass-roots approach with a strong work ethic, grinding throughout the U.S., Japan, and Europe, armed with a lethal live show. This face to face method has left a strong impression on fans worldwide familiarizing them to the multiple Visionaries releases on Up Above Records.
The opening fo the East Coast office in Manhattan has spawned many exciting opportunites for Up Above Records, and has furthered the sound spectrum for the label. With the momentum of 8 years of quality releases, Up Above Records stands to make a strong standing with a selection of heavily weighted new releases. Wielding revolutionary rhythms for the significantly growing underground hip-hop audience, Up Above Records brings forth the finest from both West and East, the palates of the listeners are evolving, hear the winds of change.
