At Drips-N-Drops Records, David combines two passions: vinyl and rap. A collector since his teens, he has amassed an impressive collection of urban music over the years, with nearly 10,000 US rap records and around 3,000 French rap records.

Among them are numerous first pressings (OGs) from artists who have become essential figures: 2Pac, Dr. Dre, MC Solaar, Diam’s, Akhenaton—records that have become true collector’s items.

Today, Drips-N-Drop Records is part of the music section of Marché Dauphine, the largest concentration of record stores in Europe. It’s a place where you can journey through the history of music: rock, soul, funk, French and American rap, new wave, R&B, disco, and world music.
