Established in 1986 by Froggy and Simon Harris, Music of Life emerged as a pivotal British indie hip hop and dance label. Initially licensing from the US, they soon produced their own tracks like 'Rock the Beat' by Derek B, igniting the demand for British hip-hop. Signing artists like the Demon Boyz and Daddy Freddy, they became UK's leading hip hop label, celebrated by Music Week and Studio Week for championing homegrown talent.
