With the news of Fat Beats closing its doors spreading, it signifies the end of an era among us. For those old enough to understand the significance of vinyl and the term “underground” before it needed quotation marks, Fat Beats was the last store standing. As DJ Premier said it best…

“The closing of Fat Beats is just like one of my friends passing away. They promoted vinyl at its highest degree for the culture of good music and that makes it more difficult to say goodbye.”
