What’s good? My name’s BD1982. I’d like to thank all A-Street crew for having me and big up Scheme for reaching out. I have an album out this month on Seclusiasis and wanted to share a couple tunes that inspired its development.

My favorite record spot in Tokyo is Dub Store and has an amazing selection of 45′s. These two tunes were my favorite finds in the summer of 2008.
