HIP-HOP

HIP-HOP is more than music, HIP-HOP has crossed cultural boundaries that other music genres never crossed. HIP-HOP is not only the music you listen to but the way you walk, talk, dress and act. HIP-HOP is a state of mind, an entire generation. Thirty + years strong, we are the HIP-HOP generation.

RECORD STORE DAY 2012


Today is the 5th annual Record Store Day; a day created by an independent record store employee to celebrate the art of music.  Iggy Pop is the official ambassador of this years event.
Amongst a slew of performances taking place, the participating record stores will be selling 3 types of Record Store Day Exclusive Vinyls as follows: 

"RECORD STORE DAY EXCLUSIVE RELEASES. Exclusively available on Record Store Day at Record Store Day participating stores. Will not be available anywhere else in the same format.  
RECORD STORE DAY LIMITED RUN/REGIONAL FOCUS RELEASES. Also exclusively available on Record Store Day at Record Store Day participating stores, but the quantities of these titles are EXTREMELY limited. Under 1000, and WAY under 1000 in some cases. We felt it was only right to put them on a special sub-list, so that everyone is clear on the odds. 
‘RECORD STORE DAY FIRST’ RELEASE.  These are titles that you can find on Record Store Day at Record Store Day participating stores. So if you’re a fan of the artist, you get first listen. At some point in the future, generally four to six weeks, these titles will be available, in the same format, at other retailers."   - recordstoreday.com
