A tranquil Rawkus (haroldhunterbook.com)

In the late 90's, Rawkus records was on fire! The likes of Dilated Peoples, Common, Tash, RA the Rugged Man, Beat Junkies, Prince Paul, Marley Marl & Pete Rock have all contributed to this record labels rise.

They hit the ground running. So whats up wit Rawkus now. They don't make'em like they use to, do they? The last i heard of this company was when, nemesis, El-P put the whammy on 'em; Signed to Rawkus / I'd rather be mouth fucked by Nazis unconscious."
Now its 2007, with the exception of Soundbombing, Talib, Monch & the late Big L, Rawkus seems to have formed some sort of void. There hasn't been any sort of ruckus from the label for sometime now ("can you describe the ruckus, sir?") Or maybe, Hiphop is just scant right now. Oh well, shit happens! Peep these old rawkus joints.

R.i.P. hAROLD hUNTER!
