Monkeyboxing started by accident…but it’s too late to go back now. Currently monkeyboxing empire music and monkeyboxing myspace are run in tandem and regularly updated with news, reviews and links focusing on FUNK, SOUL and HIP-HOP – though occasionally Monkeyboxing’s not ashamed to ROCK and has been known to review OTHER STUFF entirely. If all goes according to plan though – soon there will be a funky-ass online magazine called MONKEYBOXING.COM . The intention is that the same music stuff will continue to be posted up as soon as it’s ready, but also to feature artwork from up and coming artists every month and work the angles on ‘lifestyle’ stuff like new trainers/ sneakers and other cool shit.
So...if you are:
  • promoting music and want to get stuff reviewed or have news posted up interested in having your artwork featured a company that wants to promote trainers/sneakers and other cool shit
    • … please contact the editor:
