Collection: Hip‑Hop & Rap Vinyl Records - Classic, Modern & Underground Hip‑Hop on Vinyl

Our hip-hop catalogue runs from the foundational East Coast records — Nas's Illmatic, Wu-Tang Clan's Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), The Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die, Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill — through the West Coast era of Dr. Dre's The Chronic and 2001, Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle, and 2Pac's All Eyez on Me and Me Against the World.

The 2000s commercial peak is well represented — Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Jay-Z's The Blueprint, Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP — alongside the conscious and contemporary records that have always run alongside the mainstream: Mos Def's Black on Both Sides, SZA's CTRL, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, The Creator, Drake, and Little Simz. The Boom Bap subcategory gathers the sample-driven production that defined the golden age.
