This year Record Store Day will be quite different from recent events. Not only by name, also for the fact that for security reasons the worldwide biggest indie vinyl event will be split into 3 days.
Most record stores provide preventive measures, thats why we still want to encourage you to support your local record store and vinyl in general. Therefore we made a selection of all the Hip Hop releases that might be from interest.
Day 1 of RSD-Drops 20 will take place on August 29th, 2020
Following Hip Hop records will be released:
Starting Off with a reissue of the second official Gravediggaz album “The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel” originally published in 1997.
