J57 told me this video is extra special because it’s where everyone in Brown Bag met while working at the legendary Fat Beats.
Cameos from DJ Premier, DJ Eclipse, Ricky Powell and the entire BBAS Crew that worked at Fat Beats over the years!
“Brown Label Pt 2” EP drops Sept. 4th at BrownBagAllStars.com.
Check out the FVZ on the Halftime show with DJ Eclipse discussing “Fresh 2 Def“!
In the final feature from Allindstrom.com’s Indie Series, we take a look at the mecca of hip hop independence, Fat Beats. We took the time to sit down with the stores founder Joe Abajian and DJ Eclipse. We talked about how Joe had the idea for Fat Beats and how Eclipse finally joined the team. We get into how Fat Beats took advantage of the labels not being willing to sign artists that weren’t guaranteed sellers. Both Joe and Eclipse then explain the Fat Beats movement, and Joe explains how hip hop’s competitiveness helped drive the popularity of the store.
In this second segment, DJ Eclipse talks about his involvement with the Rock Steady Crew and breaks down his perspective of underground vs. mainstream hip hop.
We Stole the Show got up with DJ Eclipse at Fat Beats NY to talk about what’s he’s been up to with regards to Ill Bill, Fat Beats Records and breaks down the differences in his two radio shows at NYU and Sirius Radio.
