I have been in the South ever since the new year, now back in Minnesota. I almost shitted my pants when I saw this. I'm in a Tower Records store in MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE and what do I see? Nocturnal Rage & Ol' Dominion. HOW did this happen. I'm in a mainstream record store 2,000 miles away and I see that 206 up in there.

Also, I've been seeing albums from a group called Swollen Members all over in big stores (Tower, Sam Goody, Barnes & Noble, etc.). They are from Blaine, WA. How in the hell did two guys from Blaine, WA get a big deal (it looks that way anyway) and major distribution?

I was glad to see Seattle artists in there, but it kind of pissed me off b/c I know of so many 206 knockers that never will be in stores like that in other parts of the country.

WHAT is the story?

Swollen Members are from vancouver, i've blazed with Mad Child & Prevail, their original studio is like 30 minutes away from my house. They didn't get a deal, they are one of the most successful independant hiphop labels, Battle Axe Records. They came from the ground and made it to the top on their own,
