Run by the rappers behind the Produce Organics record label, some of whom are also EYRST artists like Bocha and Donte Thomas, Produce embodies lo-fi and chill hiphop culture. Sneakers adorn the walls, there’s a lounge area where guests can kick back and play video games, and the overall vibe is that of open arms.
