Get On Down

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.

Originally released on July, 20th 1987 on Dangerous Music, Born To Mack is Too $hort's 4th studio album and re-released as his first major label release in 1988 on Jive Records. Long out of print on vinyl, this West Coast classic contains the 9+ minute track "Freaky Tales" which Snoop Dogg would state was highly influential, to such an extent that Snoop covered the song in ‘97 for the hip-hop covers compilation In Tha Beginning.

Too $hort is one of the pioneers of West Coast Hip-Hop, commemorated with a street named in his honor - Oakland’s Too $hort Way dedicated in December of 2022. Too $hort continues to make music and plays West Coast classics and upcoming artists on his Rock The Bells radio show Don't Stop Rappin and is a member of West Coast Pioneers super group Mount Westmore.
