"The Last Stop for Hip Hop..."

As you all know by now, Fat Beats is closing its doors due to poor vinyl sales. The last day will be a sad day in hip hop, for sure. I remember when the LA Store first opened, went to the grand opening with the homies. It was on top of the X-Large Store. I copped the OG Needle Thrashers and got it signed by DJ Babu. Babu was working and also spinning. It was like a dream, the vibe was too ill. Thank you so much Fat Beats.

Peep out the Eddie Raskel gear both homies on the right are rocking.
Thanks Andy for the photo.
