wax poetics: #50

Wax Poetics celebrates its 10th anniversary with a stylish redesign. "In December of 2001, Wax Poetics debuted its first issue to a small following of record collectors and 'beat diggers.' Ten years later, Wax Poetics has carved out a niche for itself in the world of music journalism and expanded its audience to a worldwide congregation of music lovers. Issue 50 marks our ten-year anniversary and does so with one of the most iconic musicians in the history of African American music, the one and only Prince." On the back cover: Frank Ocean. Also in this issue: Larry Graham, Morris Day, Toro y Moi, DJ Quick Record Rundown, Blood Orange, Questlove on Prince, Jesse Johnson, Madhouse, The Family, Grand Central, and 94 East Re:Discovered.
