For those of you who know, Bomb Hip Hop was a company out of the Bay area that specialized in all four elements of the hip hop culture. DJs, graffiti, MCs, and breakers were all represented in the initially black and white publication that later grew into a record label.
People like DJ Shadow, Kutmaster Kurt, Spence "Dookie" Abbot and many others got there start penning fresh articles in the blossoming publication.
In 1992 Bomb released 2 flexidiscs from a then unknown DJ by the name of Dan the Automator (Deltron 3030 or Gorillaz anyone?) that featured some more unknown artists like MadChild of later Swollen Members fame, Blackalicious a group containing founding members of soon to be respectably dope indie label Quannum Projects, later Living Legends crew members the Mystik Journeymen, the DJ prodigy Q-Bert, the founder of powerhouse label in the making Stones Throw Records Peanut Butter Wolf, and many many more talented Bay area artists.
They are credited in Spin Magazine with releasing the compilation Return of the DJ series, named one of the top albums of the 90s. In 1994 they released this compilation that was called Bomb Hip Hop Compilation and appropriately so. Because that is what it was indeed. Bomb Hip Hop.
