PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This year the magazine dedicated an entire issue to the 50th Anniversary of hip-hop, which included stories that tell us where rap has been, where it is today and where it’s going. The visual language of the issue takes us back to rap’s inception and is inspired by the low-fi photocopied party fliers used to promote jams in the 1970s.
