Ed Piskor’s Hip Hop Family Tree

Artist Ed Piskor is a talented cat. His Hip Hop Family Tree series of books (and now single comics) is a must have for any collector of the hip hop culture. On point and on time, put down those Walking Dead comics for a while and get cultured.

Damu The Fudgemunk Full Time LP

Redefinition Records gives the collector and appreciator of fine instrumental hip hop beats a treat this holiday. You can pre-order Damu The Fudgemunk’s Full Time Lp. This release combines his first solo debut album and companion Ep all on one records. If you’re not familiar with Damu, then this introduction of his early work will illustrate just how bad ass this artist is. Plus there is a chance to buy his whole discography as well, just sayin’.

Tuk Tuk Leather 45 Case

There are a lot of 45 cases available. From thrift store finds to bespoke storage, we felt that this Tuk Tuk leather 7″ case was something special. With a Tuk Tuk logo and plaid inside, this box holds approximately 60 45s and comes with a complimentary 45 adapter. Tuk Tuk are known for their Casual Culture, and what Casual is not complete without some Northern Soul or Paul Weller 45s? Ok, you could easily stuff some of your Blue Cat or Crab 45s in there too Rudy.

Record Breakin’ Slipmats

We are definitely fond of these Record Breakin’ Music slip mats. Out of the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, these mats are another welcome edition to your turntables. Feel free to drop one of their great 45s on the turntable to accompany the slipmats.

Colemine Records Subscription Service

What if you could never miss another Colemine Record release? What if you didn’t live near Loveland, Ohio and couldn’t get to Palid Room Records and have Terry Cole hand you a new release personally. Well, you actually can. Terry will hand a new Colemine 45 through the mail to you and virtually shake your hand when you subscribe to their new service. Sign up to get emails about their releases first, then buy the record. It’s that simple. Oh Terry Cole you’ve done it again.

Patta Script Logo Pom Beanie

While everyone else is worried about Jordan XI’s and what ever hats are cool this winter, why not grab some classic style with thisPatta Script Logo Pom Beanie? A throwback to the 80’s, this will keep your head warm and in style. FMF recommended, this company is different. And by different, we mean tight as hell. It comes in two color ways: black and gray. We’ll take both.

If you’re looking for something for that special someone, we hope this guide helped you out a bit. Just a taste of what we are into this holiday, and hopefully you will dig too. Thanks for reading.

Keep Diggin!
