Beyond Race Magazine is a gem for music lovers. This month’s cover story on Santigold was worth the read. (not a typo, homegirl had to legally change her name.) There’s something to be said about a magazine that has my girl Ayo, my man Tricky and Lykke Li all on one page. Peep it. In New England Newbury Comics should have it, or you can get at it online by clicking the photo below.
Beyond Race is a quarterly magazine based in New York primarily centered on independent and emerging artists, covering music, film, and other arts, such as literature, graffiti, tattooing, and visual arts. The publication also reports heavily on progressive issues and culture, in general.
Founded in 2006 by David Terra, the magazine has steadily grown both in circulation and visibility.
Along with in-depth features on musicians and artists, each issue also covers social and political topics and has several pages devoted to album reviews. Past issues have covered Dub Trio, the Beastie Boys, Garland Jeffreys, Donnell Rawlings, Hi-Tek, and Nada Surf.
The magazine also has a large presence on the internet by maintaining active YouTube and MySpace accounts and regularly updating its website to include exclusive online content, such as interviews, concert and film reviews, and opinion columns.
