Letter from The Editor
What’s Up everyone! Welcome to High Intelligence Magazine Issue #5. This is a special issue for two reasons, one is our relaunch issue after a 6 months hiatus and two because it is a special issue dedicated to Hip Hop music and culture as it celebrates 50 years. In this issue we have a piece called Hip Hop: Ethnicity, Race and Culture written by yours truly. Is part 1 of a 3 part series where I discuss Hip Hop’s humble beginnings and how it evolved into the world phenomenon we know today. Illmatic by Nas is considered by most Hip Hop heads to be the best album of all time so we have a nice piece about its influence 28 years after its release. Also in this issue we have the ladies of Hip Hop from Sha Rock the first female MC to Doja Cat. Hip Hop and Cannabis have been together from the beginning of Hip Hop and it’s just as much part of the culture as anything else so it’s only right that we discuss how Cannabis evolved through Hip Hop. in our Artist Spotlight we have the incredible MC Unlearn The World as he discussed with us about the success of his last album Crowns and more. We have the most exotic strains out there, our strain of the month Lemon Cherry Gelato, our guys from Green Bro Farms and more. I hope you guys enjoy this issue and be on the lookout for next month’s annual 420 issue. Sincerely, Hector Richardson Editor in Chief 6
