Yup! You got that issue too? I got juiced when I saw a pic of Jay-Tee and people posted in front of the North Vallejo Park sign in the pic lol. I had to cop it.
My 1998 Source Magazine has a story on the Vallejo rap scene. It said Mac Mall's Illegal Business album sold 216,000 independently. I don't know if any other bay album beat that.
I used to have that issue. what about N2DEEP-24-7-365 on Bust It Records? anyone know how many that scanned? I'm pretty sure it was over 100,000. and was Profile Records considered an independent back in the day? cause if it was then N2DEEP-Back To The Hotel would probably be the biggest selling bay indie album
