More than just a retail store, Dope Jams acted as a hub for the underground - not only providing the sounds and parties, but also the community (and \"magick\"). No doubt people will reminisce about the spot on some \"\u003cem\u003eI was there\u003c\/em\u003e\" type shit. \u003cem\u003eDope Jams NYC Vol.1 - 2005-2012\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the sounds of that eight year era in Brooklyn (they've since relocated to the Catskills) with a compilation of classic anthems, defining tracks, and previously unreleased cuts on vinyl for the first time.

The tracks are spread across three LPs and sound phenomenal, but what really makes this comp special is it not only focuses on the music, but also the people that made Dope Jams what it is. The included 32-page booklet is loaded with extensive yearbook style notes on everything from the staff, friends, parties, and everything else (like the infamous 'rules' list) that made the place the stuff of legend.
