Such an amazing experience here! I was searching for a pretty hard-to-find record for my…read moreboyfriend's birthday, and when I called, they not only confirmed they had it -- they actually held the record for me until I could come pick it up. That meant so much and seriously took the stress out of trying to track it down. When I came in, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. You can tell they genuinely care about music and about making sure customers leave happy. They made the whole experience feel personal instead of just another transaction. If you're looking for something specific (especially a harder-to-find record), this is the place to go. I'm so grateful they held it for me and helped make his birthday special. I'll definitely be back!

Since being back in Cleveland, I haven't found my ideal record store. [a tad unrealistic, but a…read morestore with tons of used CDs [and new], including local acts, priced below $5, of all genres, especially hip-hop, trip-hop, alternative rock, and soundtracks; would be it, although perhaps it's a good thing, because I need to save money. Stores like the Corner Record shop in kalamazoo, and weirdo records and another one both in boston, have come close to the ideal state.] One of my favorite pasttimes is to go to a record store, buy some random CDs that look interesting to me and hope for the best. My budget usually imposes a limit of 4-5 of them, all used]. Compared to my other reviews, my ratings for stores a bit more skewed toward my bias, so, that being said;.. I had some time to kill and wanted to see what they had. So here I am now writing this. The guy behind the counter was amicable and let me browse without buying anything for 30 minutes, always a plus. The selection consists mostly of newer [late 90s-2000s] rap, mainly southern and the big labels - Motown, Universal, Cash Money. Nothing from rhymesayers [boo]. Some older stuff like Schooly D and Slick Rick. Format-wise, I was disappointed to see no vinyl, only CDs, and cassettes [I now know that rap is still being released on cassette]. Their prices for albums were ok, $6-7 for used, $13ish for new. I asked if they had any local acts [and gave out some names] and he said they did not, recommended me to go to another place that ended up being closed. There's also a big CD selection of Gospel and R&B. Plus, there's some porn. If you're in the neighborhood, also check out Lucy's Sweet Surrender bakery which is a couple blocks down from here. The lower rating is due to their limited selection rap and a lack of vinyl. If you're looking for gospel, r&b, or contemporary rap [Southern and mainstream, mainly], then Nikki's is a good place for you.
