Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Biggie grew up in Brooklyn, sold drugs as a teenager, served jail time, and poured depression, paranoia, poverty, and suicidal thoughts into an album that often sounds brutally autobiographical.
- Studio Lore: Ready To Die was recorded across multiple sessions as Biggie transformed from underground rapper to Bad Boy centerpiece, with Easy Mo Bee, DJ Premier, and others building its dark cinematic sound.
- Media Narrative: Released at the height of West Coast dominance, the album helped swing national attention back toward New York and turned Biggie into one of hip-hop’s defining voices almost overnight.

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).
