What ever happened to bayside urban distribution?

Does anyone know?

Due to people buy music online(digital stores) and people leaking albums for people to download for free made couple of distribution companies (like Bayside) and majority record stores go down.

"Dear N @NorCal707E why has the rental market increased so steadily even with the boom in available apartments since the housing bubble burst? Do you think its better to put my retirement money into a truly diversified portfolio, or in these worrisome economic times is it better to concentrate you assets into more secure positions?"

I remember a big ass sale Tower had on their website for a bunch of Bayside albums at a few dollars each...I must have bought like 15-20 albums and still have some unopened in my attic.

 

[Filthy_Rich]

I bought a handful of CDs off that sale. 99 cents each. Some rare shit too.

Its a huge shame bay side urban went under I think it was the best distributor of indie rap ever, I had know idea they were closing down if I did I would have bought most of the back catalogue who distributes those artists now?

Really???? Bayside did a lot of big things after that, had billboards in NY, were in big magazines(The Source, XXL), and had a lot of labels wanting their distribution.

 

[The Boss]

What label or company now distributes the artists that were formerly put out by bayside urban?

 

[Filthy_Rich]

Most of those albums are out of print and only available digitally or second hand (eBay, Amazon, used CD section). Labels/artists with the more popular titles probably shopped their projects to distributors like City Hall or Urban Life. Or they just re-pressed on their own and consigned those shits.
