Stones Throw Records

Peanut Butter Wolf, founder and president of Stones Throw, became popular as a DJ in the Bay Area in the 1990s. He has since transformed into an artist in his own right and the head of one of the most influential indie hip-hop labels in the country. By remaining true to his musical philosophy, Wolf has introduced musicians such as Madlib into the hip-hop scene and has brought some of the genre's most respected artists to the label such as the late J. Dilla and MF Doom, creating a varied catalogue that includes new hip-hop, undiscovered gems of soul and inspiring niche and cult projects. His efforts add up to a recording company that transcends a brand and takes on surprising new directions with every release.
