B-Boy Records
B-Boy Records was an important independent hip hop record label formed by Jack Allen and Bill Kamarra in in 1986. Their first release was "South Bronx" by Boogie Down Productions—most famous of the acts associated with the label. B-Boy Records were known primarily for releasing noisy, minimalist hip hop driven by the drum machine rather than the sampler: The Brothers' "I Got Rhythm", Wax Master Torey's "Duck Season", Jewel T's "I Like It Loud" and Levi 167's "Something Fresh to Swing To" (all 1987) are examples. By contrast, the same year's "Just Saying Fresh Rhymes" by Castle D relies on a relatively quiet percussive accompaniment based around the hi-hat, and a disorienting synth melody reminiscent today of G-funk.
Other 1987 releases include The Busy Boys' "Classical", "Feel The Horns" by old school pioneers Cold Crush Brothers, and Sparky D's "Throwdown".
After their first album Criminal Minded, Boogie Down Productions left for Warner Brothers and the label folded soon after. According to writer Peter Shapiro, B-Boy's best release besides those by Boogie Down was Levi 167's aforementioned 1987 single. They did however have late success with "Strong Island" (1988) by JVC Force, which Shapiro calls "one of the most kinetic records in hip-hop history".
A 2002 retrospective of the label, The Best of B-Boy Records, is available on Landspeed Records (not to be confused with Boogie Down Productions' 2001 compilation, Best of B-Boy Records, on the same label).

If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there. Gianfranco Pieri or Franco, is a college freshman from Wantagh, New York. He has a funny shaped head and can often be found pooping in the back of limos and making fun of Salvatore Manteria. Franco can not read, however he can write, but his writing comes out as a very complex form of hieroglyphics, not unlike chicken scratch. Also Franco is a homosexual male, who, despite his facebook profile, is seeking a man to spend the rest of his life with. Franco likes putting balls on his face. Oh, also he's a robot.

Pumpkin (musician)
Pumpkin (sometimes credited as Eroll Bedward) was the musician, percussionist and band leader behind many old school hip hop tracks for the Profile, Enjoy, and Tuff City record companies.
He worked with several important early hip hop acts from 1979 to 1984, such as Spoonie Gee, Treacherous Three, Funky Four, Grandmaster Caz, Fearless Four, and Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde, as well as a host of more obscure names. His own "King of the Beat" (Profile, 1983) was followed by one of his last productions, Pumpkin And The Profile All-Stars' "Here Comes the Beat" (Profile, 1984).
In the words of writer David Toop, "In the early days of rap on wax, it was musicians such as Pumpkin ... who defined a new musical style."
A collection of his work for Tuff City was released under his stage name in 1995 as The Tuff City Sessions on the retrospective label Old School Flava.
