Hip Hop Connection Magazine - Issues 11 to 16

I realised that I hadn't posted these issues to the blog (or anywhere) since I scanned them two years ago.

So here they are, issues 11 (December 1989) through to 16 (May 1990). Plus I have recently scanned issues 17, 18 & 19 which will bring us up to August 1990.

However there is one missing and that is #14 (March 1990). This is not due to me not having it but rather I DO have this copy, but it is STILL SEALED. I would've been buying two copies of HHC back in the day and using one copy to cut up and pull out posters with the other copy being kept in the 'good' pile. I must've battered the sod out of issue 14 then by all accounts.
I'm not going to open up this one just yet as this is obviously my retirement fund. Maybe in the future, who knows...
 
Top Trivia: Issue 15 (April 90) features a letter from one Louis Theroux writing under the alias, King Lou-E. He mentions this in his recent autobiography, We Gotta Get Theroux This.  His disparaging comments about UK hip-hop artists will prove to bring a huge backlash in a future issue (namely #17, June 1990 YO! letters page).

Anyway, here they are. More issues to come very, very soon.
