Since 1998, Massmen Records has been a foundation for releasing and reissuing projects from a collective of artists who started working together in the 1980s. Though Massmen has collaborated with other labels for releases, the Massmen core of artists is based mainly in Los Angeles and centers around ABSTRACT RUDE & TRIBE UNIQUE, FAT JACK, AWOL ONE, DK TOON, and DJ DW. The label has also been praised for bringing new artists to the ears of the masses via Project Blowed and Anticon Presents Music for the Advancement of Hip Hop compilations, as well as numerous guests on DJ 'D's Workers Union and Highlife Movement's ...estuary (such as Abstract Rude, Aceyalone, Mikah 9 of Freestyle Fellowship, Lady Blue of The Coup, Dr. Doom (SF),and L'il Kenya).
