Huck 82: The Music Issue is here
Give Me Space — Introducing our latest music themed issue, covered by Kojey Radical.
The latest issue of Huck is fresh off the press and has just landed on newsagent shelves. It’s a music themed magazine, that explores the spaces, scenes and communities that allow our favourite sounds to thrive.
It’s absolutely packed with evocative reporting, sharp photography and design, and stories to make you think, how only Huck does. This is what editor Josh Jones has to say about the issue.
At Huck we pride ourselves on having a unique point of view on the world. So when we decided that this one would be a music issue, I knew that we’d have to do things differently. With music (as with all art) you need space to create. Physical spaces to write and perform, space in your head to think, space to evolve. Our cover feature Kojey Radical is the personification of this – from skating around London’s Hoxton where he grew up knowing he wanted to do something creative but wasn’t sure what, to local community spaces where he was encouraged in his musical pursuits, to his friends and family who have inspired and nurtured his talent to become the brilliant rapper he is today.
Elsewhere we sit down with High Vis frontman Graham Sayle on the resurgence of hardcore and mental health, rapper Jords takes us through his creative writing courses he runs in UK prisons, ESEA MC scene pioneer Jianbo recalls being recognised in the supermarket. We also chat to the director of a posthumous documentary on the avant garde musical artist Genesis P‑Orridge, hang out on the beach with Mercury Award winner Speech Debelle for her new project We Are Black Fish that encourages the black community to get into fishing, speak to a professor of seismology in Nepal who’s using folk music to increase earthquake awareness, head to a rare open mic night for Syrian rappers and much, much more.
I need space, you need space, let’s make space to create.
Enjoy Issue 82
