9/29 The End of an era..Taking a look back at Fat Beats

If you're an independent artist in NYC or LA you should be feeling a sharp pain in your heart!!! One of hip hop's well known stores has closed its doors "Fat Beats." I can't speak for LA but when your on W.8th Street in NYC, FAT BEATS was the place to be to buy rare remixes you cant find or the artists that aren't getting that major exposure that still have incredible music. We never personally never had our records there (political reasons) but it doesn't take away from the careers that were built there. The Mos Def's, Kweli's, Company flow or more popular the "Rawkus" movement was birthed there at fat beats. The day that it finally closed was honestly like a funeral with all the emcees from NYC  that had something to do it with that era. You will see all from DI.T.C. Rahzel and many more expressing what seems to be their condolences in this video check it out!!!
