Here's a list I've compiled of all the Bay Area record spots to go Diggin. I hit up the spots
listed with a * on a weekly basis. Also, one key spot was left off the list that's in San Jose
simply because it's way too valuable to mention. There's all kinds of rare & original gems there
and they’re not costly so too bad Diggers, that one you're gonna have to find out about on your
own. But EVERYTHING else is listed on here! Happy Diggin and support the Real Hiphop!! peace
