Tommy Boy 45 Years

Description

Tommy Boy is one of the most influential independent labels in the history of hip-hop and electronic music. Founded in 1981 by Tom Silverman in New York, the label became a true cultural engine for innovative artists who blurred genre boundaries and defined the sound of the 80s and 90s. Tommy Boy introduced the world to artists like Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force, whose single "Planet Rock" (1982) helped launch the electro hip-hop movement. The label also produced iconic tracks by artists such as Queen Latifah, Digital Underground, House of Pain, and Coolio. Recognized for its bold creativity and sense of innovation, Tommy Boy became synonymous with the golden age of hip-hop and remains a benchmark in independent music culture. To celebrate its 45th anniversary, Tommy Boy is offering a 7-inch box set featuring classics, fan favorites, and rare tracks, with songs by De La Soul, Naughty By Nature, Planet Patrol, and many more.
