Anybody who truly loves not only music but art in general knows what awful records is. That was one of my favorite eras ever and was a huge part of my high school life. I remember being inspired by them because awful records was and is one of the few entities in the creative world that is genuinely DIY.

[@HypnoticHollywood]

I love music and art but first heard of Awful Records today.

[@elyer.8981]

Exactlyyyy. Real hipster 2010 shit

[@KentWav]

This the man responsible for Playboi Carti

[@scrillabrilla]

Father is that guy. I don't fuck with Carti but I feel like ppl need to know about Awful records and it's sad they don't

[@tbj4855]

[@bazoteflondon6024]

[@joshsmith-uy5iw]

KEY is a real underrated artist in the game. He wrote songs that went crazy for other artists, and most people don't even know who he is.

[@brodiethegoaty849]
