For months, our record crates have leaned heavily into the smooth, sophisticated sounds of jazz, but this week, Dave and I decided it was time to officially beef up our hip-hop collection. What started as a casual debate over who holds the ultimate crown in rap history quickly turned into an exciting mission to curate our definitive hip-hop shelf.

In this episode of Groovin' Together, we take you through our real-life crate-digging adventures, the hilarious roller coaster of a delivery mix-up that tested our patience, and the legendary records we’ve already locked down—including Tupac’s monumental All Eyez on Me and The Notorious B.I.G.’s masterwork Ready to Die. We break down our essential artist-by-artist checklist, debate the must-own albums that every true vinyl collection needs, and explore how these golden-era classics and modern masterpieces sound when you drop the needle.

Whether you grew up with these tracks heavy in your CD rotation or you’re building your own physical music library from scratch, grab a seat and join us as we bridge the gap from jazz standards to hip-hop royalty!
