Description
The most important literary journal in hip-hop America. An intellectual town-hall on paper that rejects the cheerleader tone of celebrity-driven urban publications as well as the highfalutin tone of academics, Bronx is a critical and thought-provoking journal recording the rise and fall of blacks in all formulations of the black aesthetic, mixing an appreciation of high and low culture with a language aimed at the bourgeoisie and the boulevard - all filtered through a soulful eye.
