Sleeping Bag Records
Sleeping Bag Records (“Fresh” was the rap imprint) earned an early rep as a label to avoid. However, their roster of Hip-Hop acts was sick; Mantronix, Nice-N-Smooth, EPMD, Just Ice and T-La Rock. Also, one of its founders, Will Socolov, would open Freeze Records, which distributed an album called Reasonable Doubt by a rapper named Jay-Z.
