Slovo Magazine. Word!

Everyone knows that writing about underground and old school hip-hop music is a challenge. One has to love and respect this art tremendously to put so much time and effort into supporting it. But this nonprofit job should be truly appreciated. The online magazine Slovo (Russian for "word") is successfully spreading the information on the history of hip-hop, its philosophy, various artists from different countries. The editor's purpose is to enlighten people, to show hip-hop as a culture; this is the only way to guide readers through the greatness of the art.

Hip-hop culture is constantly growing and developing, that is why there are many topics that will always be open for discussion. Nelson, the general editor, writes about all the elements of hip-hop and gives an opportunity to different creative people to promote themselves. This journalist is willing to work with MCs, DJs, b-Boys, graffiti writers, hip-hop activists from different countries. Professional interviews and amazing articles are the examples of how new artists can collaborate with the magazine to help their new tracks reach the listeners. However, not all the artists are intelligent and righteous individuals. Slovo magazine tells us about the absurd movement called "right rap" that appeared in Eastern Europe not long time ago so know your enemy! The editor exposes racist bands and different crews that obviously try to share their fascist or imperialistic idealogies. And remember: hip-hop is not just music, it's a movement.

Almost all the work is done by one person, Nelson, and the magazine is originally published in Belarus but it is quickly shared on the internet so 8 colorful editions are easy to find and free to download. The choice is always yours: to read about celebrities' reckless modus vivendi or powerful and beautiful music. Are you ready for the 9th edition? Stay tuned!
