The Stranger

Tonight, Sportn’ Life Records celebrates a decade of existence, a decade of promoting, managing, and distributing South Seattle’s hiphop talent, a decade with more ups than downs. It currently houses the locally popular rappers Nissim (formerly D.Black), Fatal Lucciauno, Spac3man, and Larry Hawkins; launched the careers of Dyme Def and J.Pinder; and is closely tied with the big three beat-builders: Jake One, Vitamin D, and Bean One. The label not only has several classics in its catalog but has also maintained high production standards in all of its releases. Ten more years!
