Fat Beats 25th Anniversary Show Tickets

Fat Beats began in 1994 on Manhattan's Lower East Side, founded by Joseph Abajian (DJ Jab). What started as a vinyl haven for hip-hop fans grew into a global hub—expanding to Amsterdam, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Atlanta, with a label and wholesale arm alongside its retail presence. The 25th Anniversary celebrations highlighted Fat Beats' lasting impact on hip-hop culture, featuring affiliated artists in major cities like New York and Los Angeles. This page celebrates the Fat Beats legacy, highlights key discography, and shares upcoming tour information for fans and collectors alike.

From Chicago to Tokyo, Fat Beats’ influence extends beyond records. The 25th Anniversary Compilation (Fat Beats Records, 2019) showcased 44 tracks, including new material from Clear Soul Forces and Ill Bill, underscoring the label’s role in elevating underground and premium hip-hop. In 2024, Fat Beats celebrated a 30th anniversary with a SummerStage show in Brooklyn’s Herbert Von King Park, featuring notable artists and broad cultural programming, including coverage from Lincoln Center.
