B-Boy Records
B-Boy Records was an important independent hip hop record label formed by Jack Allen and William Kamarra in 1986, and situated at 132nd Street and Cypress Avenue in the Bronx, New York City. Its most notable signing was Boogie Down Productions, and it released Boogie Down Productions' first singles, "South Bronx" (1986) and "The Bridge is Over" (1987), and the group's landmark debut album, ''Criminal Minded'' (1987). Other acts that recorded for the label included JVC Force, Cold Crush Brothers, Levi 167 and Jewel T.
The label's output is a mix of new names and old pioneers, and documents a period in which self-assertive lyrics begin to detail street life even as the music moved from hardcore drum-machine-based tracks to the horns and drum sounds of sampler-based hip hop. B-Boy Records folded in 1988, though Nate Patrin of Pitchfork Media reports that, "both Allen and Kamarra have set about reviving the B-Boy Records name independently of each other, and there seems to have been a number of bridges burned between the two men."〔Nate Patrin, ("Various Artists: B-Boy Records: The Masterworks" ), Pitchfork, August 15, 2008.

==Foundation==
B-Boy Records was founded Jack Allen by William Kamarra in 1986, with one act on their roster. Allen, Kamarra, and Ray Wilson, calling themselves Rock Candy Records and Filmworks, advertised that a record label was seeking new musical talent in a newspaper. (Steve Huey of Allmusic reports rumors that it were seeking to establish a front for a pornography business.)〔Steve Huey, ("Boogie Down Productions Biography" ), Allmusic, undated. Link retrieved September 4, 2008.〕 The ad was answered by the then-unrecorded Boogie Down Productions, now the most famous of the acts that were to be associated with the label. On request, the group recorded an anti-drug song, "Crack Attack", and was signed to the newly formed B-Boy Records. The label's graffiti-style logo was by the group's lead emcee, KRS-One.
