Reflecting on nearly a year of Hi My Name is Hip hop and how much it has grown, fills me up with a level of accomplishment but also a greater level of excitement for what lies ahead. Hi My Name is Hip Hop is most def aiming for the top spot. J.Cole hit the nail on the head when he said...

“Tell dem niggaz at the top we want yo spot we are fo real, and yet we heard you got it locked but like dem socks we on your heels”

That is exactly what we saying to all the cats at the top, we are on our way!!!! But enough about that, this month’s issue marks the beginning of badass issues. From the hottest hip hop news, album and mixtapes updates and fresh downloads when they drop. Don’t just take me by my words check it out yourself.

welcome to HI MY NAME IS HIP HOP the _August_ issue

A key element about hip hop that sets it apart from any other culture/ industry of its kind is its _progression_.

[Biggie] was right when he said “you never thought that hip hop would take it this far”. Back in the 80s, hell even in the 90s we never thought hip hop would grow to the point where it could sit with investment titans like Warren Buffet and along with him reflect on success.

It used to break my heart when people would look at me as being childish or unrealistic when I’d share my aspiration of making it in hip hop well… that changed when I heard Jay-z say in track “My type a dreams seem dumb, they said wise up, how many guys aaaa you see making it from here, the world don’t like us, is that not clear... alright. But I’m different, I can’t base what I’m gonna I’m gonna be, off what everybody isn’t.” Those few lines have made a great impact in my life, I mean how dare you judge us (hip hop) when we have icons like Jay-z sitting as equals with highly respected men like Warren Buffet.  So be like me and dream big and never let anyone try tell you otherwise!!!!

So without further a due welcome to HI MY NAME IS HIP HOP the _April_ issue.

They say a picture can say a thousand words, so it only felt right for me to have this picture of what seems like J.Cole in prayer as the inspiration for my 2011. On new years day I sent out messages to all my friends dubbing 2011 as _The Come Up_ the year for all our dreams to materialise.

I began the first minutes of the year with a feeling of excitement like “hell yeah, 2011 is mine” and my year wouldnt be complete without hip hop and together we have a lot in store for ya. So keep your eyes locked on HI MY NAME IS HIP HOP and watch the online magazine take on new frontiers that you’ve never expected.
I said it once and ima say it again 2011 is the year of _The Come Up_. So without further a due welcome to HI MY NAME IS HIP HOP the _January_ issue.
