Last week when I was mastering the mundane act of washing clothes at the card-enabled laundromat in my neighborhood, I found a stack of Stash magazines next to a dude who was clipping his toenails. I snagged one and temporarily cured my boredom reading insider hip-hop information from this decidedly bay-area rap-scene focused zine. Small enough to fit in your back-pocket and published in Frisco, Stash magazine is chock-full of interviews, articles, top-5 lists, album reviews, and paparazzi photos from concerts and other events.

Stash seems to pride itself on nodding to the underground, featuring pieces on The Jacka, Yukmouth from the Luniz, Prodigy of Mobb Deep, and Lyrics Born (who I’m hoping to see on Friday at the SF Outside Lands Fest). The stories herein deal with anything from label problems to struggles with the law. My favorite page had to be the E-40 slang word search. So don’t be a beezy and check it out at Stash Online.
