Cultural Facts:

  1. Scene Ecology: Tied to the Soulquarians era—artists pooling musicians and studio time around New York sessions.

  2. Studio Lore: Built with J Dilla and Roots-affiliated players/producers in the room, blurring “band” and “rap album” roles.

  3. Personal Struggle: He’s spoken about being raised mostly by his mother, with his pro-ball father often absent—family distance as a core pressure point.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
