Wax Poetics began bringing their brand of indepth and rugged journalism to the music scene back in 2001. Since day one they have been dedicated to the culture of beat digging and record collecting. They been responsible for bringing light to genres, like soul, jazz and funk, and acts that the general music rag world had let languish in to obscurity. With every issue they illuminate the symbiotic and historical relationship between those genres and contemporary hip-hop.
