@99Vinyl Let me pick a vinyl from you for free or the lowski if you really mean that 'sorry". 👀 😂

@staygroundeadtv At least wait until you actually have the gig. 🤷🏾‍♂️

"Res - How I Do" is up for preorder. Another repress I've looked forward to because the resellers charge damn near $500.

From hip hop to jazz feels like a natural progression as you get older. This is especially true if you grew up listening to the music or production of Q-Tip, Madlib, J Dilla, Ishmael Butler, etc. I noticed I've been buying a lot more jazz and funk vinyl than anything else.

@oralon @99Vinyl But you get them in a crate. 😅

Uyama Hitoto’s ‘Freeform Jazz’ is finally receiving a repress for the 10 year anniversary. No more having to pay a few hundred dollars for it for anyone that wanted it. If you’re a fan of Nujabes, this album is definitely worth checking out.
