I got my copy of UGSMAG last Friday! I still haven't been able to dig into it much, but I love what I've seen. I'll eventually post timelapses of my illustrations once I get my ducks in row.

I haven't a clear idea on how I found about the Fu-Schnickens, but I suspect it may have been a segment about them on The New Music back in the day. Their individual flows and kung-fu schtick blew my mind. Chip's delivery is still devastating. I was stoked when I was able to find a copy of Whitey Don's "Artical" 12" (on white vinyl...sorry) with him and Phife on it at the Osborne Into the Music before it closed for good.

I have theta artical 12” as well. It is so good. I think I first heard it on a mastermind tape. It blows my mind. A great 12” even though it is white vinyl. I was not as mad at color vinyl in that era as it was super uncommon. But now it is just completely out of hand.

There is a lot of great stuff in this new issue of Ugsmag. Your illustration for TFTRN was top notch! I hope my words live up to your illustration, always a lot of pressure there for me.

I appreciate that, man! Thank you.

Noyz just gave me the direction/vibe, and I did my best to make it happen. :)

I was so into Aethiopes that Church has had to earn its spot with me. Crazy what a run woods is on.

It is one of the truly great album runs in the history of Rap. I hope it continues for a long time!
