VIPER

Viper is a magazine that emerged from a sense of frustration. We live in a time when Hip Hop journalism has reached a low point in terms of intelligence. Many well-known publications now resemble simple brochures, featuring content that often lacks relevance. With legendary artists frequently appearing on magazine covers, their importance seems to be fading. Observing that independent music and fashion outlets are covering Hip Hop with more depth and creativity, Viper aims to elevate underground Hip Hop and its surrounding culture. Named after a slang term used by writer William Burroughs, Viper is committed to serving rap enthusiasts and fans of niche scenes around the globe.
