Included in the issue out in November is coverage of Melanin 9’s new album “Magna Carta” which releases on 3rd December.

Anyone who’s followed the career of Melanin 9 knows that the Londoner is heavy like lead, operating on the bristles of inner city hells and concrete jungles blocking all exits. The album Magna Carta is typical of his intelligent hooliganism….” the feature opens.
