I’m a true crate digger, “wherein a turntablist will visit a used records store and search through their collections of vinyl records to locate rare music, often specifically for the purpose of finding a particular break to incorporate into their performance sets. Used record stores often store the bulk of their older collections in basements or attics, tucked away in milk crates (which are sized ideally to fit a vinyl LP), hence the name of the practice.”

For many people searching out that elusive 12” vinyl represents one of the great pleasures in life. Most towns and cities have a little gem of a store hidden away in a side street. Later, the introduction of the beat box made popular by the legendary Grand Master Flash further explored the creative and economic opportunities that hip-hop provides.
