Deep Crates 2(2007)

Documentary Film Dedicated To Beatdiggin' Culture

Deep Crates 2 is a documentary that traces the art of sample digging and beat-making through interviews with hip-hop's pioneering producers. The film travels globally—from the USA and Canada to Japan—to reveal the record shops and hunting grounds where legendary crate diggers sourced their sounds. With tighter production values than its predecessor, Deep Crates 2 offers extended conversations with fewer featured artists, allowing deeper dives into their creative processes. The documentary includes studio footage and exclusive stories from some of the culture's most influential diggers, capturing the obsession and skill that shaped modern hip-hop production.
