Cold Chillin' Records was a record label that released music during the golden age of hip hop from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.[2] A producer-and-crew label founded by manager Tyrone Williams[2] and run by Len Fichtelberg (d. November 4, 2010), most of the label's releases were by members of the Juice Crew, a loosely knit group of artists centered on producer Marley Marl. In 1998, the label shut down, and the majority of its expansive catalog was bought by Massachusetts-based LandSpeed Records (now Traffic Entertainment).
