114 pages 29.5 x 21 cm Language: French Paperback February 1999
Published in 1999, Radikal issue 27 captures a defining moment for hip-hop — when French rap was finding its voice while staying deeply connected to its American roots. Between exclusive interviews, underground reports, and cultural deep dives, this issue bridges both sides of the Atlantic, chronicling a scene in full creative explosion.
Inside: interviews with Monsieur R & Diam’s, 3e Œil, D.A.BuZ System, and Faouzy Tarkhani, alongside U.S. heavyweights like Kane & Abel, Buckshot, Fiend, Heather B., and Timbaland. From Paris to New York, the magazine explores rap’s multiple identities — political, poetic, and streetwise — with the same sharp tone and raw authenticity that made Radikal essential reading in the late ’90s.
With special features on the Black Panthers, Battle of the Year, Dancehall Murder, and global scenes from Abidjan to the Bronx, Radikal #27 is more than a magazine: it’s a time capsule from the golden era of hip-hop journalism.
