Issue 2 features articles “Frisco Graff,” “When Hip Hop Wasn’t Rap,” and “Cast on Lock Down.” Amir and cohort Jay Littleton attempted to interview infamous graffiti writer CAST in maximum security prison three times. Each time they were turned away, because A) they were 16, and, B) you have to be on a visitors list. Of course they didn’t know that at the time…but eventually perservered by securing the interview via good old fashioned snail mail! (The prison has since shut down.)
