Muzik & More (formerly Music-N-More) is a record store founded by Aquil Abdur-Rasheed and his wife, Hafeeza in 1992. They first operated at a booth in the Bessemer Flea Market before expanding to three locations.

Abdur-Rasheed was killed during a robbery at the store's Midfield location in 2004. His widow and son, Aquil, Jr kept the chain open until late 2008. With the redevelopment of Fair Park underway, Abdur-Rasheed reopened the Five Points West location at 2247 Bessemer Road in July 2009, adopting the new name.

In 2011 the store moved to the Crown Plaza Shopping Center at 1401 3rd Avenue West.
