The death of vinyl... again!!!

'Last Stop for Hip-Hop' store Fat Beats to shutter due to poor vinyl sales



Hip-hop fans with an affinity for wax are mourning the end of an era - the closing of Fat Beats record stores.

Two mixtapes worth the listen





I can defintely appreciate the skills of other DJ's. I love to hear a quality mixtape. It doesn't have to be perfect technically, but rather; have the perfect combination of cuts, scratches and music selection. DJ Just Dizle does that very well with Ladies First Volume 1, hosted y Jazzy Joyce and Ladies First Volume 2, hosted by MC Lyte. This two volume mixtape takes you on a journey through the classic years of Hip Hop from the perspective of the ladies that rock the mic. I recently listened to both volumes on a long car trip and was totally satisfied. If you've love Hip Hop for a long time, these mixes will remind you of some of the ladies that strengthened that love. Shouts out to DJ Just Dizle a.k.a Le Champion.
