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.
Previously we presented all Hip Hop releases featured on first two days.
Day 3 of RSD-Drops 20 will take place on October 24th, 2020.
At first we wanna draw your attention to the single LP edit of Piñata by Freddie Gibbs & Madlib. The re-release was mastered by Metropolis Mastering in London and has been lacquered at half speed exclusively for Record Store Day 2020.
Cover artwork is referring to graphics of 1970’s Blaxploitation films and was designed by Jeff Jank and Pathetic Pixels.
