We can't all summon the time or skill to sift through the bins at the local LP emporium--how helpful, then, that the vinyl detectives at BBE/Rapster have shared their best finds. This jammy, soul-heavy collection will be a delight for connoisseurs of sample-rap's organic roots.
Beat diggers and vinyl addicts don't just buy music; They rescue it from obscurity. Crate digging has always been an integral part of hip-hop culture; producers might spend days in basements and back alley record spots looking for "the perfect beat" with dirty fingers, dust masks, portable turntables- anything to aid their quest. With sample-based production making its way back into the mainstream (shouts to Kanye, Just Blaze and Rich Harrison), it seemed the perfect time for BBE/Rapster to bring out their latest Kings of? compilation.
