"For their latest book project, Vinyl NYC, they’ve refocused their lens on the city’s many record shops, crossing the five boroughs to scour through dusty stacks of used wax. From reggae boutiques in the Bronx to the six-decade old Staten Island emporium where the RZA bought his first deep cuts, Vinyl NYC is a crate-diggers paradise."
