Hip-Hop Connection (HHC) was the longest running monthly magazine devoted entirely to hip-hop culture. It earned international recognition and was described by Public Enemy's legendary frontman, Chuck D, as “the best magazine in the world.” I secured one of my first writing gigs at the magazine in 2005 and spent 3 years there as a freelance journalist.
