Leeds Hip Hop Scene

Here’s a deep article I found from our girl Nino - she wrote an article for Drop magazine about the connections of hip hop & martial arts, and the respective religious and disciplined connotations in both!

Chi. In Hip Hop we call it soul. It’s invincible, the most incredibly powerful force imaginable. It runs within you, all you have to do is learn how to magnify, control and release it in your own individual way - so if you concentrate your blood flow to one area of your body, that area will gain electrifying power. Try it. Circle one arm - slowly at first - then faster. Faster. Until finally - throw that punch, fall into that swipe…

You will experience this indescribable sensation. The hardest punch. The fastest swipe. It’s addictive. releasing an energy and ecstasy like no other.

Trust me.

Check it out now it’s a great read

Also Analogue’s response to Nino’s Article is right here…

When I get a spare half an hour or so from all this turkey eating and beer guzzling I’ll write some of my thoughts on the subject!!
