Hip Hop Connection Magazine - Issues 19 & 20

 

Hip Hop Connection Magazine - August 1990, Issue #19
Icecube was this issue's cover star and the reason why is that he was just about to release his debut solo album, Amerikkka's Most Wanted. There's the usual smatterings of articles and doodads including pieces on Brit girls Monie Love and Betty Boo (!).
Jazz-Rap was suddenly on the rise around August 1990 and HHC have a big piece on it all as well as reviewing the Dream Warriors in the Singles section (this month also had the debut release from Hardnoise - yes, THAT one!).
MC Mell 'O' rounds off the mag with a breakdown of his Thoughts Released album.
All in all not a bad one this month.
Hip Hop Connection Magazine - September 1990, Issue #20

Say what you will about HHC but they did try to promote equality and report on the female section of the genre in a mostly male-dominated field. Ruthless Records' Tairrie B gets front cover shine (albeit under KRS-ONE).
More West Coast bizzle continues inside the covers with an interview with Kid Frost
There's an epic chat with KRS-ONE but let's face it, he's not a man known for his brevity.
All that and a bag of chips as some of us used to say in the '90s.

 More soon...

Tairrie B, haha. Ever listened to her records from about 10 years later?
