	Musicians - Peanut Butter Wolf

Peanut Butter Wolf is a DJ and Hip Hop producer from California who has been active since 1986 when he produced a song by Lyrical Prophecy called 'You Can't Swing This'. Shortly after this he began to work with a rapper called Charizma, a very expressive and creative emcee, and both of them were soon signed to Hollywood Basic, a division of Disney). Although they recorded a full album of material, it would not be released for many years - the group was dropped from the label without releasing a record, and shortly thereafter Charizma was tragically killed.

Saddened and without an emcee to work with, Peanut Butter Wolf continued working. He put out a song ('The Chronicles') on the now legendary 'Return of The DJ' compilation and a collection of beats for DJ's ('Peanut Butter Breaks'). In 1996, Peanut Butter Wolf formed the Stones Throw Records and as its first single was Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf's "My World Premiere."

Peanut Butter Wolf released his own solo album on Stones Throw, "My Vinyl Weighs a Ton", in 1998. Since then has nearly given up producing to focus on DJing and executive producing projects for his label, most notably by Madlib, whose group Lootpack he signed in 1998 after hearing their demo on a college radio station.

As Stones Throw Records raised its visibility in the 2000's with noted hip hop released by Madlib's Quasimoto, Yesterdays New Quintet, Jaylib and Madvillain, it as also expanded to include funk and hip hop re-issues, and experimental jazz and electronic music.
