Down Magazine Sports

ABOUT Down Magazine...Down Magazine's purpose is clearly defined in its subtitle: Dedicated to Southern Hip-Hop Music & Culture. In other words, Down will cover the entire Hip-Hop scene down-South. The magazine will focus on covering Hip-Hop artists breaking out of the South from mainstream to unsigned and every level in between more thoroughly than any existing media outlet to date.Why the South? Because for too long, the most dominant style of Hip-Hop music continues to be slighted when it comes to coverage from mainstream publications largely staffed by New York based writers who simply can not relate. Instead of covering the artists from the south as if they are a passing fad (ironically, the same way mainstream America treated Hip-Hop in its first 10 years), Down will take the music and fans serious and cover it thoroughly.In addition to giving our readers more coverage of the major acts, Down will work harder to give them expanded coverage of the next wave of talent that already exists, but continues to be ignored. And because the music isn't the only unique aspect of the Southern Hip-Hop scene, all aspects of the culture will be explored.You can't find cars, fashion, women, sports, or Hip-Hop anywhere else in the country like you'll find down-South! Now you can find it all in Down.As you well know, Hip-Hop and Sports have always shared a close bond. Down Sports will bring to you those stories and introduce you to the people that bring together Hip-Hop's foundation, music and sports.
