Rappcats Archive (2005-2024) Rappcats.com launched in 2005 for Quasimoto’s “Rappcats Pt. 3” video. Rappcats re-launched in 2015 as a store, highlighting the work of Madlib, Egon, and Jeff Jank, as well as the record labels Madlib Invazion, Now-Again, J Dilla’s Pay Jay, and select other projects. A physical store in Los Angeles hosted pop-up record events. Rappcats closed at the end of 2024.
