'WY Hip-Hop Issue 1' Zine

The first ever West Yorkshire Hip-Hop zine! With streamed music all-but murdering the vital physical sales market lots of local artists had come to rely on in order to just pay for their chosen art, we decided to move into more tangible media by collating information about the hip-hop scene in West Yorkshire into a zine for free distribution. This first issue includes biographies and QR code links to individual artists that featured on the WY hip-hop vol 1 vinyl as well as articles written by different members of the community about breakin’, grafitti, freestyle and trap/grime/bassline artists. If you are finding out about the scene and these artists for the first time, please go and support – physical sales are a lifeline for musicians already up against a cost of living crisis. Streaming a song once nets the artist you’re listening to about a third of a penny at best, it has to be treated as a try-before-you-buy or soon there won’t be independent artists breaking through, it’ll just be the guff billionaires have paid to make you hear.
