Peanut Butter Wolf (aka Chris Manak) is a San Jose, California-based turntable artist and producer who has been an influential figure in hip-hop since the early 90s. With a style based around dusty vinyl samples of old soul and jazz records, the vintage-minded DJ has struck a chord with fans of old school hip-hop free of the trappings of many modern genre trends. His early collaborations with rapper, Charizma, paved the way his continued partnerships with various emcees throughout his career. Peanut Butter Wolf founded and runs the highly successful record label, Stones Throw, which has released notable hip-hop albums from the likes of Madlib, Quasimoto, Jaylib and Breakestra.
