Dantakistan
Dantakistan is an imaginary country that was founded on December 28, 2007. It was made by an unknown person. The founder wanted to make a Constitutional Monarchy, with himself as the king. The king has a website. The website kinda goes through the nation briefly and the creator tells about himself. The country has made humorous claims to own numerous planets and galaxies. The country is considered a micronation. The parliament of the nation is unknown. The king claims to also live in a castle. Dantakistan is said to be many miles east of nowhere. This claim is probably untrue.

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).
