UNDERCOVER MAGAZINE
Undercover was on the go from 2002 to 2006 and was a magazine that dealt mostly with hip hop but also included other underground sounds in the mix.
Quite a large chunk of its content was given over to artist profiles and interviews, but there were plenty of pages remaining that showcased stuff like record reviews, label histories, live event reports, as well as related features such as graffiti, xtreme sports, fashion, website overviews, things like that.
Music covered consisted of hip hop, soul, reggae, funk, breakbeat, drum & bass, garage and leftfield.
Undercover also came with its own CD's which often had exclusive tracks.
The top image is an example of their early arty covers, the one on the left being the debut mag in 2002 and the one on the right dating from 2003.
Underneath the covers I've put 3 of their CD's on display to give you an idea as to who crops up on them.
