Back2Basics, 2001

Found this while sorting some magazines, the Pioneer issue of Back2Basics, Aotearoa's own hiphop mag. They gave it a formal launch at the 2001 Hiphop Summit, from memory. 

Chief Editor Sen Thong, aka Khymer, Editorial Manager/News and Reviews Editor Brett Wagner aka Omega B, Diggin' Editor DJ Sir-Vere, Soul Searching Editor Ayesha Kee, published by Corners Covered Charitable Trust. 

The magazine was relaunched in 2004, and in 2005 Satellite Media revived it with DJ Sir-Vere as Editor. They later folded it into Rip It Up in mid 2009.
