NP20
NP20 (FORMALLY KNOWN AS VINTAGE PRO.) WAS FORMED BACK IN 2001. IT ALL STARTED WITH THE IDEA OF FORMING A RAP GROUP WHICH WAS CALLED, (FISTFULLOFDOLLARS) THE IDEA SPRUNG UP AND LUCAS & OD BECOME IN LOVE WITH HIP-HOP. BUT (FISTFULLOFDOLLARS) DIDNT GET VERY FAR, DUE TO THE FACT THEY HAD NO-ONE TO PRODUCE BEATS FOR THEM, THE GROUP DIDNT MANAGE TO MAKE ANY SONGS, BUT NOT GIVING UP HOPE OD & LUCAS STARTED BUYING PRODUCTION SOFTWARE AND TRYING TO MAKE THERE OWN INSTRUMENTALS WHICH CHANGED THERE LUCK WITHIN THE MUSIC BUSINESS. A YEAR AFTER TRING DIFFERENT PRODUCTION SOFTWARE, THEY FORMED THERE OWN INDEPENDENT LABLE (VINTAGE PRODUCTIONS) DURING THE 2 YEAR SPELL AS AN INDEPENDENT LABLE, LUCAS & OD DECIDED TO TAKE THINGS SERIOUS AND CHANGED THE NAME OF THERE RECORD LABLE TO (NP20) - DUE TO THE FACT THEY WERE NOT KNOWN LOCALLY BUT WERE KNOWN ON AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL.
