Remember the time when
Vibe magazine was the epi-centre of urban popular culture? When hip hop artists such as
Wu Tang Clan, KRS One and
Jay Z who got no love from other publications but were greeted with open arms by Vibe? This was back in the mid 90s before urban culture became mainstream. Sadly
Vibe is no longer the magazine that it was which was edgy, forward thinking and exciting to read. It is now just another magazine. However there is a new publication on the scene that might be able to take up where
Vibe left off.
Jamrock is a glossy lifestyle magazine that comes with a Caribbean and American edge. Based in New York, it takes a global perspective on all things good such as music, film, style, travel and beauty. The lovely Keysha from
The Cocoa Diaries featured
Jamrock on her fantastic blog - check it out here.
