Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

The Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls and born Christopher Wallace, is a legendary figure in the world of hip-hop. Emerging from the streets of Brooklyn, New York, Biggie's distinctive flow and storytelling prowess quickly set him apart in the early 1990s. His debut album, Ready to Die (1994), was a commercial and critical success, featuring iconic tracks like "Juicy" and "Big Poppa." Biggie's gritty lyrics, combined with his smooth delivery, painted vivid pictures of urban life and struggle.

Despite his short career, cut tragically short in 1997, The Notorious B.I.G.'s impact on the music industry is undeniable. His follow-up album, Life After Death, released posthumously, further cemented his legacy with hits like "Hypnotize" and "Mo Money Mo Problems." Today, The Notorious B.I.G. is remembered as one of the greatest rappers of all time, influencing countless artists and continuing to captivate new generations of hip-hop fans.
