Christopher George Manak (born October 8, 1969 [3]), better known by his stage name Peanut Butter Wolf, is an American disc jockey and record producer from San Jose, California.[6] He is based in Los Angeles, where he moved to in 2000.[4] He is the founder of Stones Throw Records.[7]

Career

In 1989, Peanut Butter Wolf met rapper Charizma. They became friends and started making music together.[8] They made a name for themselves in San Jose and the Bay Area through their live shows and demo tapes. Charizma was shot dead in 1993.[8] In 1996, Peanut Butter Wolf founded Stones Throw Records,[9] which would release the duo's Big Shots in 2003.[10]

In 1999, Peanut Butter Wolf released My Vinyl Weighs a Ton. It peaked at number 44 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.[11] In 2010, Jeff Weiss of Los Angeles Times called it "a crate-digging classic that remains one of the seminal statements of the underground golden era."[12]
