J. Cole is looking to honor the history and culture of hip-hop in a new magazine that is a companion piece to “The Fall-Off.”
J. Cole is expanding the legacy of his new album, The Fall-Off, with its very own magazine of the same name. This 144-page endeavor is being put together by Editor-In-Chief Bonsu Thompson and VP of Creative, Felton Brown. Throughout the magazine, you will find interviews with JAŸ-Z, Lauryn Hill, RZA, Glorilla, J.I.D, Yachty, Cash Cobain, and a plethora of other big-name artists. This is a project that will honour the history and culture of hip-hop. Those who are interested in hip-hop journalism should absolutely invest in a copy. It’s difficult to find physical publications these days. While this is a one-time limited run, this is still a huge endeavour that should absolutely be supported. Cole is showcasing, once again, that his love for the culture runs deep. Rather than serving as a traditional promotional piece, the magazine aims to recapture the spirit of classic rap publications through long-form journalism, original photography, artwork and editorial design.
Cole tapped veteran journalist Bonsu Thompson to serve as editor-in-chief. Thompson, whose career spans three decades across some of Hip-Hop’s most influential magazines, partnered with publisher and Dreamville Vice President of Creative Felton Brown to assemble a team of more than 60 writers, photographers, illustrators, designers and artists.
If you want to purchase the magazine, you can do so over at Cole’s website for $40 USD.
