The latest volume of the Scion CD Samplers, v.14, is a collaboration with the highly revered publication Wax Poetics and DJ Monk One. Founded in 2001, Wax Poetics is a high-caliber music journal focusing on hip-hop's brilliant evolution - from its birth as a collision of classic disco, soul, jazz, and funk, to its present domination of contemporary music culture and its limitless future as a popular art form.
New York-based DJ Monk One finesses a mix of mostly recent releases that. True to the Wax Poetics aesthetic, they draw upon the funk and soul roots of hip-hop music and highlight the outstanding ability of hip-hop culture to embrace various musical styles from around the world. Monk One is Contributing Editor for Wax Poetics and is a resident DJ for NYC's longest running hip-hop radio show, the Underground Railroad.
Scion is committed to supporting and developing artistic creativity. To learn about Scion’s involvement in music and art, Scion Audio/Visual (SA/V), please visit scion.com/SAV, where you can listen to our exclusive promotional records.
