There’s been some great hip hop coming out of the US recently (Lushlife, Danny Brown, Black Milk, Action Bronsen, ASAP Rocky, Mr. Muthafkn esq). I’m a big fan of the black hippy collective (Schoolboy Q, Kendrick Lammar, Jay Rock, Ab Soul). Ab Soul has a pretty unique concious angle and this is a stand out [...]

My obsession with hip hop generally starts with the lyrics, but the beats always have to grab me, too. SKYWLKR’s work with Danny Brown brought me to him, but I listen to his Strawberry Cough mixtape as much or even more. I love how dirty the drums are and how roughly he cuts the samples.

Mike Corbett, aka Maccy, is a proper hip-hop don whom I had the pleasure of living with many years back in a (chaotic) share-house in Australia. Whilst his epic t-shirt, tape and toy collections are gold dust in themselves, it’s all about the collectable skateboard decks this time around. Maccy D’s even commissioned one himself from artist Mark Drew, a collection of his favourite album cassettes stacked on top of each other. This collection was recently updated with the Beastie Boys signed one ’5 Boroughs’ deck, done before MCA’s passing.

As Jay-Z says in his book, Decoded: ‘Hip hop is the only art that I know that’s built on direct confrontation’. Based on that premise, rappers wrote some of the best lines of hip hop just saying ‘how dope they are’. These lines inspired Brazilian illustrator Raoni Marqs to create portraits of some of the most famous, legendary, and controversial figures rap has ever seen.

As a fan of Hip Hop who grew up in the 80s, it’s sometimes difficult to reconcile with what the genre has recently become. Few and far between are the artists who continually attempt to push the art form toward its next iteration. But they do still exist. Most recently, I’ve become enamored with the [...]
