Do you remember Big Daddy Magazine?  Well the creators of that classic have regrouped their efforts to bring an even better magazine aimed at hip hop purists.  This is a thick magazine, thicker than the Source by the way, full color and retails at around £3.95.  With this debut issue you also get a free cd.

Recently I spoke with Gorzki, who is located in Poland and runs his own record label called MGK Records. He has just recently put out the second installment of the Hip Hop Racism Stop compilation. In this interview we discuss the Polish hip hop scene and a bit about himself. Please note that due to the difficulty in translating Polish to English we apologize for the bad grammer.

When they audition young women for rap videos these days, do the brothers use the paper bag test? The comb test? I wonder how they determine who is either too black or not black enough to be considered “beautiful.” What am I talking about, you ask? The latest trend in “hippopular” culture: The whiteout of black women in positions of visibility. It has actually become offensive. Usually, I’m pretty good at flipping the channel whenever I see the redundant video “club” scene.

This is my experience of last weeks event called Verbal Tribez which featured local artist sharing the stage with Swedish hip hop group Looptroop, Spot Runnaz, Rantoboko, Timbuktu, Chords and U.K rapper Blak Twang. Well at this moment I’m feeling like a scanner scanning the event and now I need a outlet to put out the material. I just scanned and this website is the perfect means for me to expose my brain.

Paarl / Cape Town, 3 April 2003 

This is no April fools joke. Only two weeks after KGB’s debut album “The First Born” hit the shelves at Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarkets, Mothermix Distribution clinched a deal with Musica, which will see the “Best Hip Hop Album of the Year” nominated CD in all 136 Musica stores nationwide. 

And again for a price of under R 50, making the album cheaper than any single.
