Music Of Life

Profile:
Premier hip hop label started by Simon Harris around 1987.

As well as quality singles releases, the label also put out numerous DJ-Tool compilations like 'Beats, Breaks & Scratches' and 'All-Star Breakbeats'.
Most notable releases include "I'm Riffin' (English Rasta)" by MC Duke and "Untitled" by Hardnoise which are arguably the most sampled tracks in UK Hip Hop history thanks to the acapellas.
