CHI-RAP.com | Chicago & Northwest Indiana Hip-Hop History

Before Spotify, streaming and social media, DJs were moving music through mixtapes, record stores, radio stations and nightclubs. DJ Kid Scratch was part of that era, bringing underground hip-hop to listeners throughout Chicago and Northwest Indiana.

Known for his connection to the legendary Los Marijuanos, Kid Scratch also built his reputation through Chicago radio, including Power 92, and the city's nightclub scene.

THE BOMB — AN EAST CHICAGO HIP-HOP LANDMARK

Back in the day, DJ Kid Scratch's mix CDs could be found at The BOMB store on Indianapolis Boulevard in East Chicago, Indiana.

For local hip-hop fans, stores like The BOMB were more than shopping destinations. They were places to discover underground music, find the latest mixes and connect with the culture.

THE BOMB IS STILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

That's right! The legendary BOMB store on Indianapolis Boulevard in East Chicago is still doing business.
