**** koolkat and especially syndicate! koolkat ain't no more a physical store anyways
if you're looking for rap, then The Funkiest is the only way to go! :)

You should go to the "five corners" in helsinki. There is atleast three spots worth checking, Lifesaver, Eronen and Digelius.

Check here http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/91251 for adresses and list of other recordstores also.

Yeah, you won't get nothing cheap here, atleast in recordstores. I don't know any fleamarkets in the capital area, I'm from western finland but visit quite often in helsinki for recordstores

I don't know that much about tampere spots, been only in one store there Voltti. They sell mainly new reggae vinyl and hiphop. They have a little selection of other black music and second hand.

Yeah, you won't get snuff officially in stores here. Don't know where in helsinki/tampere you would :)
