[edit] The Name
The name Eimsbush was influenced by American neighborhood names in New York, such as Flatbush. Moreover, it refers to Eimsbüttel, a district in Hamburg.
[edit] History
Eimsbush was founded by Jan Eißfeldt in 1997, starting off with the first tape of which only a very limited amount was made. The first mixtape, "Dynamite Deluxe Demo", caused an enormous explosion of the German Hip-Hop boom of the nineties in Hamburg. The label's most famous artist was "Dynamite Deluxe", who had big local success, nonetheless he was disbanded in 2000. Due to a row of obviously senseless actions like this one Eimsbush became insolvent three years later. Subsequently Samy Deluxe founded a new record label called Hamburgs Finest, which is the inofficial follower of Eimsbush.
