We were very saddened when we saw through their Gofundme page that beloved Bushwick small business Wrecords by Monkey was a victim of fraud. Nearly ten years ago, Wrecords by Monkey’s owner Patrick Chirico was starting out at a Lower East Side sidewalk selling record bracelets. Almost a decade later, New York native Chirico (also known as “Monkey”) is still pursuing his passion – Wrecords by Monkey now has a shop right off the Morgan stop, and has helped to create a the vinyl record ministore at Brooklyn’s only Whole Foods and has been a Brooklyn Flea staple for years.
