Over the last 17 years Bomb Hip-Hop's influence and contribution to the promotion of the four elements of hip-hop (dj, mc, breaking, graffiti) is undeniable. Bomb has expanded since it's humble beginnings in 1991 as a hip-hop publication to "one of the fifteen independent labels that matter" according to Rolling Stone magazine. In 1994 Bomb released their first album, Bomb Hip Hop Compilation. The album featured some of the best up and coming west coast artists at the time - Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf, Blackalicious, Mystik Journeymen (of Living Legends), Mad Child (of Swollen Members), Qbert and more. Now 14 years and 70 releases later, the label presents the long awaited follow up, Bomb Hip Hop Compilation - Volume 2 with tracks by Dirt Nasty, Bash Bros. feat.

The label was also one of the first to champion deejaying as an art form with it's groundbreaking Return of the DJ compilations." Stance Magazineb,121b,121"The Bomb album is full of raw talent. I'm sure there will be some record deals coming out of this. It's time someone exposed some of the underground styles and concepts of the groups." - Flavor Magazineb,121b,121"This comp proves once again that the rap magazine known as The Bomb brings out the best in the Bay Area..." - Thrasher Skateboard Magazineb,121b,121"The Bomb Hip-Hop Magazine brings itself one step closer to establishing itself as a Bay Area legacy. Beyond the magazine, and the memorable underground shows, comes the Bomb Hip Hop Compilation - a collection of mostly Bay Area artists that each throwdown a mesh of different styles and sounds." - URB Magazineb,121b,121"It's only natural that The Bomb would produce a superior compilation of unsigned Bay Area rap acts. The disc has several things going for it: First and foremost, it's an A&R man's dream." - SF Weeklyb,121b,121"The Bomb, the Bay Area's crucial rap publication, assembled this artist sampler as a statement of hip-hop independence, not as a declaration of war. The style here is pure street, rough and rugged with great production value. This compilation should ignite a local rap community long overlooked by mainstream sources." - The Metro
