The Underground Vault: An Underground Hip-Hop Monthly: Volume 1: Issue 7

Back for issue 7! This time with a new print and a stronger focus. Believe it or not, this is the closest to the original pitch I conceived way back in January. This month's cover is Napoleon Da Legend, fresh off of his D-Style's produced album 'Invincibl Rap Mislz.' I loved this album when it came out and I've always wanted to chop it up with NDL - one of my favourite contemporary emcees. We got some Outsidaz history from Az Izz. I spoke to Raw Poetic and P-Fritz who put together my favourite album of last year, 'Laminated Skies.' And spoke to a wide variety of exciting figures in the underground rap space; including, Acid Jackson's Ill2lectual and Illistic, Lord OLO, as well as HRIS's Bugsy H., Nonchalantly Zay, S18 and Matticz for a break down on one of Boston's rawest modern collectives.

Additionally, I have published-to-print three interviews from the vault. My 2020 interview with Celph Titled, my 2019 interview with Rome Streetz and my 2014 interview with the one and only Blacastan. These were all note worthy in their own unique way and I've wanted to have them available for print-reference for some time. Rest in peace Blac. We miss you.

Important: Hardcover variant includes premium quality color interior. Whereas the paperback option is a more affordable black and white print. All the content and hip-hop history? The same.
