Info
Summer. The time of countless music festivals, student’s getting their hard earned results and numerous designers getting scouted at shows all over the world. With that in mind we have done our best to deliver our best issue yet, so you have something to indulge in, when you’re not enjoying what summer has to offer.
We managed to grab the incredibly talented and humble Ricardo Bessa for an interview, where he reveal’s all, while the A$AP Rocky inspired Gaks tells us about his fascination with gold and more. As usual we have our quarterly dose of tech (featuring a hella cool Vespa chair), an incredible spread of inspiration as well as numerous insights into how best deal with clients. Not mentioning Calvin dropping some knowledge on the importance of album / single artwork and its influence on sales, popularity among other things.
This issue we bring you an all new improved Versus feature, with three ‘one v one’ rounds, featuring; Childish Gambino v Chance The Rapper and J.Cole vs Oddisee. Upcoming emcee Dom Mclennon sits down with us for an interview, where he talks Mayans and influences, while the incredible Grieves takes some time out of his hectic schedule to tell us what we can expect from him on his new album and his favourite new act. We also look at the role of gay rapper’s in the hip-hop community, count down our 10 favourite summer songs of all time, introduce the UK wunderkid Shakka, review Yeezus and more!
