Unlike many local New Orleans labels and their artists that integrated the « gangsta » in their bounce pretty early, and sometimes even totally excluded bounce out of their music, Take Fo Records always stayed true to the art form.
From straight bounce to the sissy kind, and all in between, for more than twenty years, the indie label has been embracing the NOLA rap specialty and keeping it alive.
A lot of famous NOLA bounce artists like Willie Pucket, Big Al & Lil Tee, Junie B., K.C Redd, Da’ Sha’ Ra’, their first act that I didn’t include on this one, and of course, the legend of the genre, DJ Jubilee, all owe their career and their status on the local scene to that particular label.
And speaking of Jubilee, the DJ who's been with the label from the very beginning, can easily be considered the biggest bounce DJ ever. He's dedicated his life to producing and pushing this type of hip-hop, and to cut short, he is the king of bounce!
And just like Bounce and Jubilee go hand in hand, it’s the same for the DJ and Take Fo’. Easy as that.
The label through DJ Jubilee and others have been keeping asses twerking for decades now, even refreshing the genre by helping popularizing the sissy bounce in the early 00’s with artists such as the raw and raunchy Katey Red that you'll find here with a few tracks from her early days.
There is so much to say about Take Fo’ that it’d take more than a post, so while listening to our new compilation dedicated to the legendary NOLA imprint, I suggest you also click on some of the links you’ll find after the tracklist…It's really a label like no other!
