This has been one of my favorite products to put in the store. It is a comic created by a dude I played baseball with back home in Edgewood, Maryland from the age of 7 or 8 until we graduated high school. Eric was always my big bro on and off the field and while we may have not been in contact that much through the years…there is no love lost. Like myself, he is a military retiree (Air Force - nobody’s perfect 😜) and just as one chapter of our lives ended…another exciting one began. Eric’s was in the form of this comic book release and mine with the record store. It has been a pleasure being able to promote artists, musicians, performers, and small businesses in the store. It’s what truly brings the soul to the shop and having a friend’s expression of self on display right when you walk in makes it even better. Support your friends and family, support your local businesses, support your communities. That’s how we become better. Edgewood.Strong!

90s Hip hop culture didn’t live online.

It lived in people. In conversations.
In the people who were there when it was being built, and are still here passing it on.

DJ Syko is part of that story.

He saw Beat Street at 14 and that was it.

Hip hop was not a phase.
Not something he was just “into.”
It was a way of life.

Before the internet this is how the journey into hip hop started. You found it, you stayed with it, and it became part of who you were.

DJ Syko is part of that generation.

And today, you can walk into Soul Side Vinyl and learn from someone who lived it.

Yoooooo…Here’s the schedule for the next couple weeks for Soul Side Vinyl. We also try to repost and promote all the DJs/Musicians/Artists that have shows around town. If we missed one of your events, let us know and we can repost or add it to our slides that we have running on the TVs in the shop. It seems like every week we are meeting so many dope people that share the mission of spreading positive music culture throughout San Diego! I’m excited for all the collabs and we hope to bring y’all some great events. Love and Blessings! ☝🏽❤️.
