Get On Down

Rapper from South Bronx, New York City. Born November 10, 1971, died February 7, 2000. Known as Big Pun, he started his career in the late 80's-early 90's as a member of the rap group Full-A-Clips. Later on, he joined forces with fellow Latin Bronx rapper Fat Joe and emerged as one of the most influential artists in the industry. Unfortunately, at the age of 28, Big Pun passed away due to a heart attack and respiratory failure caused by his serious weight problem.

Get On Down is a record label based in Boston, Massachusetts that specializes in reissues. Established in 2010, the label has become known for its high-quality releases and attention to detail. With a focus on bringing classic albums back into circulation, Get On Down has earned a reputation as a trusted source for music lovers and collectors alike.

One of the unique aspects of Get On Down is their commitment to preserving the original artwork and packaging of each release. Whether it's *James Brown*'s iconic "The Payback" or *Wu-Tang Clan*'s groundbreaking "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)," every album is carefully reproduced to capture the essence of the original release.

In addition to their reissue projects, Get On Down also collaborates with artists and labels to create limited edition releases under their [B]all branded labels. These exclusive offerings give fans an opportunity to own rare and collectible vinyl records from some of their favorite artists.

Big Pun remains on the best rappers ever list to this day. Reasons for this weigh largely on his debut Capital Punishment which was released 25 years ago. His commanding voice and rapid fire delivery make it clear there will never be another Big Pun. Pun was New York. His confidence on the mic made him stand out among his contemporaries. Similarly, the production - by a cast of many - remains ever so New York loyal. The close cousins "Im Not a Player" and "Still Not a Player", may have been the hits off this album but it is packed with so many more that show Pun's true abilities. "Beware" and "Dream Shatterer" are great examples of Big Pun at his best, dark cinematic production with just enough room to let him breathe fire. On "Twinz (Deep Cover)" Big Pun is trading bars with his mentor Fat Joe over a remake of Dr. Dre's classic beat. Here Pun delivers one of his most quoted verses that contains among others "Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know that we riddled some middlemen who didn't do diddly." There are numerous guest appearances, the best of which include aforementioned Fat Joe (on several tracks), Black Thought of The Roots on the MC showcase "Super Lyrical", Prodigy and Inspectah Deck on "Tres Leches (Triboro Trilogy)", and an extra-insane Busta Rhymes on "Parental Discretion"
