You know we can’t leave you guys too long without some ill content and we got a beautiful update for you this month. First we bring you the much anticipated second hour of our exclusive Hip Hop Icons Series interview with Rakim (audio podcast included). We also ‘find’ Queens native Mic Geronimo and see what’s up with him in Lost & Found. And just to show you we’re not stuck in the past we get up with the cat everyone is saying ‘Got Next’ the very fresh Lupe Fiasco as well as chop it up with the Street Radio team, J-Math and Jimi Kendrix, about their rap and poetry program in Brooklyn aimed at at risk youth in Slick Talkin’. Kagan murders it again with a visual breakdown of samples used from Sly and the Family Stone’s “Sing a Simple Song” in Sweat the Technique and we contiue with our spotlight on the international hip hop community with an overview of the scene in Switzerland in Hip Hop International. We’ve also got a new editorial from J-Who?, reviews of by J-Hize and an LL Cool J show review from Ram’s Head Live. You know what it is! Tell your friends Halftime’s got it on lock and spread the word!
