Comments: This store is crazy! Used to always stop there on my way home from college (even becoming a semi-regular despite the fact home and school were both hours away). Back then I’d always raid the “Budget Indie” section with great success. Fast forward five years (am I really getting that old?), my hip-hop tastes have increased and I figured, “Why not stop by again and check out the then neglected ‘Budget Hip-Hop’ section?” As you can tell, I was not disappointed!
