Established in 1998, Uncle Howie Records has evolved from being an imprint on the back of Non Phixion 12" singles into a full-fledged record label/entertainment company on the brink of world domination. We've come a long way, and this is still only the beginning. Owner ILL BILL named the label in tribute of his junkie uncle Howie and hasn't looked back. The idea is simple: Uncle Howie is a survivor of the worst that drug addiction and homelessness have had to offer while living on the mean streets of Brooklyn, NY. At age 50, after 38 years of being a crack cocaine, methadone and heroin veteran, Uncle Howie has finally cleaned up his life and proven that there IS light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how dark and bleak reality may be. His life has mirrored the trials, tribulations and triumphs his nephew ILL BILL has experienced during his travels within the music industry. We all know that anything that doesn't kill you, ultimately makes you stronger, and Uncle Howie Records is a testament to this ideal.
