Who knew that the Midwest, known more for sprawling farmlands and beer bellies, would be home to one of the most successfully run independent Hip-Hop labels around?

He’s worked the 1s and 2s for national acts as they stop through the state as well as small shows at area bars. And there’s almost no one in the city’s rap scene he hasn’t worked with — many of them, multiple times.
So, in short, if you’re even slightly into the Madison Hip-Hop scene and you haven’t heard of DJ Pain 1, you’re doing something very, very wrong.
A city native and West High graduate, Pain, like most, gravitated to Hip-Hop as a young child, with his passion for it building like an addict’s hunger Continue Reading...
