To the reviewing editor, I have submitted this draft for Big Bang Records (based in Cambridge, MA) with a focus on meeting WP:NCORP and WP:MUSIC guidelines. To assist with the review process, I would like to highlight the specific pillars of notability that this article addresses to distinguish it from a standard promotional entry: 1. Significant Independent Coverage (WP:SIGCOV): The label has received deep, non-trivial coverage from reputable independent media outlets, including: The Boston Phoenix: A feature article detailing the label's "transatlantic" business model (Faraone, 2010). RapReviews: Multiple critical reviews scoring albums (8/10) and analyzing the label's aesthetic (Juon, 2011; Taylor, 2011). Hip Hop Golden Age: Recognition of the release Still Trapped in America in their "Best Hip Hop Albums of 2020" list. 2. Verified International Distribution (WP:MUSIC): Unlike many digital-only independent labels, Big Bang Records secured verified physical retail distribution in Asian markets. Citations are included for Tower Records Japan and Disk Union, proving a commercial footprint that extends beyond local internet sales. 3. Indisputable Industry Connection: The label is not an isolated entity. Its roster is officially affiliated with the 100 Mad collective (founded by the platinum-selling group Onyx), and its releases feature verified collaborations with major genre figures including Del the Funky Homosapien, Slaine, Canibus, and Fredro Starr. 4. Distinction from other entities: Please note there are other minor entities with similar names (e.g., a defunct UK house label). This article is strictly regarding the US-based hip hop label founded by Miguel Blackmer-Hart (Virtuoso), and all sources have been vetted to ensure they pertain to this specific entity. I have strived to keep the tone neutral and encyclopedic, removing marketing language and focusing strictly on verifiable history and discography. Thank you for your time and review.
