Jay Z’s album Reasonable Doubt turns 20 this year, and to celebrate the milestone Roc-A-Fella co-founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke is opening a pop-up shop at APT 4B in Los Angeles. The space will be a replica of Jay Z’s apartment in Brooklyn from the 1990s. In a recent interview with Billboard, Burke spills that the shop will sell Reasonable Doubt t-shirts, cassettes, and other nostalgic memorabilia. Some of the merchandise will even be continued into its own Reasonable Doubt line afterwards. The shop will open this Saturday June 25, the 20th anniversary of the album, and will remain open through July.

Hypefresh Mag and Ubiq apparel teamed up to host the 20th Anniversary pop-up shop at their store in Center City, Philadelphia. I had the opportunity to help power the event and be apart of Hip-Hop history.
Biggs also sat down with the hosts of the popular podcast, RapRadar, to talk about his latest ventures.
DJ Matman, Wax Poetics and WhoSampled teamed up to celebrate Jay Z‘s seminal Reasonable Doubt with a 20th anniversary mix. A combination of expert blending and exhaustive research, the 50 minute mixtape combines tracks from Hov’s 1996 full-length debut with alternate takes, interview snippets and original samples. Mixing to this degree is a talent! Check out the tracks below.
Happy Reasonable Doubt Weekend!
