"It's all here, a snippet of every style from this champion label, which seems only to go from strength to strength. It's proving impossible to find fault in anything Stones Throw does… Once again, utterly crucial…”

"The left-coast hip hop indie celebrates its 10th anniversary by looking back over a decade in which it began as one of many and ended as the last man standing. Other labels made more noise only to disappear; and while it may be better to burn out than fade away, the best of all keep the flame strong. Happy birthday.”
