Remember when artists use to drop an album or a book and they would have an in-store signing at the Virgin store. You would have to go early to make your purchase and get a wristband just to wait around on a line that not always guaranteed you would get your CD, vinyl, book or any other object or body part signed. Security would sometimes push you away so quickly that you might have walked away disappointed with your short encounter with your favorite artists.
Fatbeats has always been the music spot where you can meet great artists without the hassle and most times see exclusive in-store performances. Over the summer alone they have had in-store events for
Marco Polo and
Torae,
Fresh Daily, and
Raekwon to name a few. It is really a great spot with a nice chill vibe.
This Friday September 25th,
M.O.P. will be stopping by for an In-Store Signing of their new album
The Foundation. This is the perfect opportunity for fans who always wanted to meet them and get stuff signed that could not do so at a show. The Brownsvillians will be in the store at 6 p.m. so come kick it with
M.O.P. at
Fatbeats, which is located at 406 8th st and 6th ave on the 2nd floor.
On Tuesday, September 27th, the long awaited album release of
Skyzoo's The Salvation finally hits shelves. It's the first release on
9th Wonder's new record label Jamla. They will both be making an appearance at Fatbeats for a signing as well as to perform some tracks off of the new album. The event starts at 7 p.m. and is free, which is all the more reason to drop by.
Take advantage of these opportunities to meet these artists, get stuff signed, take pictures with them and see live performances because you never know when you will have another chance to.
