Hip Hop Connection #3 (April 1989)

Nearly a whole year after I promised to do monthly scans, here is issue number three of Hip-Hop Connection and the first that can be accurately dated from the cover - April 1989.

Ice-T, Fab 5 Freddy, KRS-One and DJ Richie Rich bless the front page with inside articles including features on Slick Rick, the Bristol Hip-Hop scene, Fab 5 Freddy, the DMC World Mixing Championship, Ice-T, Demon Boyz breaking down their classic 'Recognition' album track by track, as well as breaking news of Hijack signing with Rhyme Syndicate and Big Daddy Kane firing off shots and hitting a member of Kings Of Pressure!!!

Best advert comes in the shape of a Music Of Life promo for Demon Boyz 'Recognition' 12"...
