Issue 14 of SOMETHING ABOUT ROCKS magazine celebrates "Hip Hop & Fashion" and explores the symbiotic and interconnected worlds of fashion, street culture, and jewelry.
Hip hop has always been more than just beats and rhymes; it's about expression and breaking with norms. This individual street spirit is reflected in jewelry, and this issue—with several covers—is dedicated to this "glamour":
In "Something About Rocks," legendary rapper Slick Rick talks about returning to his London roots with his first new album in 26 years, collaborating with Idris Elba, Giggs, and Nas, his love of jewelry, and what the future holds.
Richard Walters (born January 14, 1965 in London), better known by his stage names Slick Rick, MC Ricky D, and The Ruler, is a British-American East Coast rapper and considered a significant old-school MC. As a baby, he lost his right eye due to broken glass. He has worn an eye patch ever since.
Slick said in his extensive and exclusive interview with "pn" magazine about his collaboration with Idris Elba: "He took me to England and France, and we just started recording in his private studio and a few other places where he works when he's not making movies...We had a blast. And suddenly, the result was just worthy of release.
[Idris Elba] likes authentic music...He's hip-hop. He walks like us, talks like us, dresses like us. He's pretty much us."
Rapper and producer Swizz Beatz discusses his jewelry collaboration with Brazilian jeweler Ara Vartanian, his memories of his mentor, legendary rapper DMX, and the return of Verzuz with Timbaland.
Harriet Slater, star of the Outlander spin-off "Blood of My Blood," tells us what to expect from the new series, her love of Tiffany & Co. jewelry, and the magic of time travel.
George Farmer, star of the hit Netflix series "Wednesday," tells us what to expect from the second season of the hit Netflix series, what it was like working with Tim Burton, Steve Buscemi, and Billie Piper, and his love of Rolex watches.
