Origin
The story of South Bondurant Records starts with two kids raised by the streets of Bondurant, Iowa, Yung Tojo and Martone Vamp, who decided they wanted to make it out. Martone had already started releasing music with Tojo usually helping write or produce the track (besides Martone's debut single "Drive By"). During this time they also had beef with another Bondurant rapper, PP Lil Yeast.

They decided to create the label before the release of Martone's debut album, Compton Crackaz.

Compton Crackaz
"Compton Crackaz" is the name of Martone's debut studio album with features from; Yung Tojo, PP Lil Yeast, Bamboner, Didgi, Lex Luther, MC Cock, Eazy-E, G Herbo, and Travis Scott.

When Martone was asked to describe the album he said, "When you first look at Compton Crackaz it seems just like any other album, but you would be mistaken. Compton Crackaz tells a story of facing the odds and never giving up. It tells of a group of dedicated rappers from the slums of South Bondurant who have a dream and a passion for music, including Martone🧛, Yung Tojo(Formally Ice Water), Dr. Hanson (now Didgi), Siomoner Boner (now Bamboner), and MC Cock. This group makes up the Compton Crackaz and among other features, they have put together an album that is to be remembered for the next decade. The album managed to get big-name features on it like Eazy-E, Travis Scott, and some lesser rappers like G Herbo. Martone🧛 has put his skills as a producer to the test and mixed the different artist's talents together to create a masterpiece of an album, including a little something for all different kinds of listeners. The Compton Crackaz use this album and their music, to portray what is it really growing up in a city like South Bondurant with constant crimes being committed and people not being nice to each other." from the album description on Soundcloud.

This album would help put South Bondurant Records on the map and gained local and global interest. Along with the publicity the album also seemed to resolve the beef with Martone and Yeast. There would even be a featured film starring Martone and Tojo called "Martin in the Hood" produced by TDC Squad. The group of Martone, Tojo, Bambi, Didgi, & Cock are known as the og "Compton Crackaz"

Beef Within The Label
Shortly after the release of the album rapper MC Cock reportedly left the group. This would end up sparking an unsuspecting beef between South Bondurant and Paine Street that still is happening today. The rest of the group, besides Martone and Tojo, wouldn't release much music after the debut album, instead staying in the streets trapping and killing. Around this time $equ, (previously Sequ Ass Destroyer) and BthaDonDada were signed to the record label. They wouldn't release much music under the label, mainly being active behind the scenes and sometimes making headlines on social media. $equ would be released by the record label and join Treehouse Mob, with Vinny C and Lorenny, which would spark beef between the two groups (and because $equ is also from Pain Street).
