After a long process, the Diggers Union store is now open.  I still have much to do actually, but we do have about 20 titles that are up for sale.  As of right now, all orders have to be placed through Paypal, so if you do not have an account, head over to their official website and sign up.  All mixtapes are eight dollars and that includes the shipping charge.  We are only shipping to USA residents at this time, but we will expand that to international orders very soon.  Please make sure the address you have in your paypal account is the correct one. If you need the mixtape shipped to a different address, please let me know. More items will be added throughout the next couple of weeks, so keep checking back if you are looking for something in particular.

UPDATE (10/29): Just added a brand new Hevehitta and DJ Unexpected mixtape to the web store. T.I: Southern Royalty! Go cop it!!

I have never heard this mix before from Stretch Armstrong. The homie Frank shot me an email and sent over this to me for me to check out and post on the site. This mix is intended for more of the underground fans as it features artists such as: R.A The Rugged Man, Natural Elements, L The Head Toucha, Krumb Snatcha and Company Flow. If you haven’t heard music from some of these artists, I would advise to download this and give it a listen. Enjoy.
