Zig-Zag Rolling Papers has unveiled a limited-edition portable vinyl record player, celebrating their longstanding connection to music culture. The brand, known for appearing on iconic concert posters and album artwork like Dr. Dre's The Chronic, brings this heritage to life with a practical turntable design.

This suitcase-style turntable combines portability with premium features:

• Built-in stereo speakers
• Headphone connectivity
• Three-speed, belt-driven mechanism
• Bluetooth streaming (33-foot range)
• USB port for digital playback
• Convenient carrying handle

The release comes amid surging vinyl popularity, particularly among Gen-Z listeners. Recent data shows U.S. turntable sales increased by 10% in 2021, with 82,000 units sold compared to 75,000 in 2020. The Vinyl Alliance reports that Gen-Z (61%) shows stronger interest in vinyl than Millennials (53%) and Gen-X (27%), viewing it as a digital detox alternative to streaming services.

This growing vinyl renaissance is driven by young consumers seeking tangible music experiences and improved mental well-being through analog listening. Gen-Z's preference for in-store record shopping and multiple vinyl purchases per year continues to fuel the format's resurgence.
