The record
Title: Das EFX – Hold It Down
Year/Genre/City: 1995, Hip-Hop, Teaneck, NJ
Matrix #: LP 61829-1
Condition: VG+
Cultural Facts:
[Label Shift]: It’s their first album after moving from East West to a new label situation, a mid-career reset that reflects how quickly ’90s rap business relationships could sour or stall.
[College Roots]: The duo met while attending Virginia State University, a reminder their “wild slang” persona came from two guys who actually shared dorm-life reality before the industry found them.
[Personal Struggle]: Later interviews describe long stretches of financial instability after the early success—royalties not hitting like expected, touring money drying up, and the quiet stress of rebuilding outside the spotlight.

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).
