So I couldn't find the introduction thread and not sure where to post this information. Since this is part of what I do as and artist- i figured this to be a good place if any. A breif snapshot of who I am. the name is Savage aka "Chitown". hail from Harvey, IL currently residing outside of Sin City, NV. I'm a student of graphic arts and design. I'm also starting my own publication and fashion line of screen printed tees. But I wanted to post about my publications

I'm the starting phases of putting together a Hip Hop magazine that will be distributed for free in the Henderson & Las Vegas area- but I'm still gathering information for the content. But I need the voice of the Hip Hop community in a whole of what you look for in a hip hop magazine. What information do you want to read about when you grab a magazine at your local stops. Surely everyone is tired of the commerical and non sense that alot of publications put out. So what do the b boys and b girls, you graf artist, emcess, and deejays want to see when you pick one up? And what are some magazines that have the content that you want?

I really need the prospective of the true hip hop culture. This is my part of helping to save the hip hop music and the community. I need your feedback in order to deliever the good messege.

Lime Lite in Vegas is going through some renovation but is sweet.

Azuki in downtown San Jose has some ill threads and they're selling bikes now.

Dr. Freeclouds and Dj Culture in SoCal and Drop Shop in Orlando are some hot spots.


Seriously, Ed Hardy?! Get that crap outta here
