Hook is a hip hop magazine that encompasses the forgotten parts of hip hop culture. The magazine focuses on the up and coming underdogs of rap music, but also sheds light on the importance of urban dance, deejaying, street art and street style as a part of the culture. This is a magazine for the now but it also remembers the origins of hip-hop and captures the attitude and grit that it’s known for.
