Bad Boy`s 10th Anniversary...The Hits

In late 1993, Sean ‘P. Daddy/Diddy’ Combs left his job at Uptown Entertainment to launch what would become a dynamic project not only in hip-hop, but the entire music world, Bad Boy Records. To celebrate the 10th anniversary, Bad Boy release an album of the same name that spans a decade of classic chart toppers as well as a new remix of 1997’s ‘Victory’, featuring P. Diddy, Notorious B.I.G, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes and Lloyd Banks.

Bad Boy began with Craig Mack and the Notorious B.I.G as the only two artists on the label. The release of Biggie’s debut ‘Ready To Die’, not only established him as one of the most innovative and talented MCs in the world, but it also helped Bad Boy become one of the most popular labels in hip-hop. Artists such as Faith Evans, 112 and Mase solidified Bad Boy as one of the most star-studded labels in music. Despite various obstacles, including a media fuelled East-versus-West war, which resulted in the death of hip-hop icons Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, the label remained a musical force in the late ‘90s. Puff Daddy stepped out from behind the soundboard and stepped into the recording booth. The release of his debut album ‘No Way Out’ was a hit, and marked the most successful move from producer to artist since Dr. Dre.
