Some label history: Before unveiling its record label in 1994, The Bomb Hip-Hop Magazine issued two flexidiscs by a then unknown Automator (of Dr. Octagon fame), Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf and other artists. The first release on the label was a rap album titled “Bomb Hip-Hop Compilation” featuring Madchild (with DJ Q-Bert), Blackalicious and Mystik Journeymen among others. This was followed in 1995 by the pioneering all dj / all scratching (before it was called turntablism) album “Return of the DJ”, introducing the world to the turntable wizardry of Invisbl Skratch Piklz, Beat Junkies, Cut Chemist and Rob Swift (X-Men). The critically acclaimed “Return of the DJ – Volume II” followed in 1997. Bomb continued its success with the international rap compilation “Bomb Worldwide”. In 1999 Bomb’s RETURN OF THE DJ series was ranked by Spin Magazine as #25 in their “The 90 Greatest Albums of the 90’s” (Spin-Sept. 1999), receiving a higher rating than Gold & Platinum albums by Lauryn Hill, Pearl Jam, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Metallica, Green Day, Cypress Hill, Fatboy Slim, De La Soul and others.
1998 & 1999 saw Bomb unleash a staggering list of 14 full albums within a two years span including the following artists; Cipher, Baby J, DJ Faust, DJ Disk, Jeep Beat Collective, Krispy, Kreators, world dj champion DJ Craze, DJ Faust’s second album “Inward Journeys”, Shortee, T-Rock, “Revenge of the B-Boy”, “Contents Under Pressure” and “Return of the DJ – Volume 3
