Wild Pitch Records was founded in 1985 by Stu Fine. Wild Pitch started the careers of many now legendary artists, including Main Source, Gang Starr, Lord Finesse, Ultramagnetic MC's and much more. This label had incredible potential but due to bad management and awful business strategies the label folded in 1996. Many of the artists were dissatisfied with the label, and in some cases didn't even get paid for their albums and tours. Artists then began turning in material late, and due to money problems, Wild Pitch shelved many great albums. (Including a 3rd Eye record that is rumored to be floating around the internet.)
The record label had many great releases and great artists, which is reflected by this sampler mixed by DJ KENSEI in October of 1996 (month and year of my birth!) Get more information on this release (including a tracklist) on Discogs.com
