LETTER OF THE MONTH
Re: Tips For 2012 I am a menswear fashion student studying at UWE Bristol and I have noticed that distribution for RWD in Bristol is very limited. The hip hop, dubstep and grime scenes here are massive and you guys would definitely benefit from distributing the mag in Bristol more. We have a street called Park Street which is full of fresh established boutiques. I work with one and have contacts with the others and would be able to get your mags displayed in the doorways, if you’re game? Em Hey Em, We’re in talks with a few more boutiques around the country but yes, we’ll follow up those hot leads. Re: Tips For 2012 Dear Hattie, My tip for 2012 would be the music from Estonia – a place not usually known for new music. It is a country next to Finland and Russia.

Re: Tips For 2012 Delilah is gonna do great things, she just had a single out that was received well, of course Daley – he’s part of the camp – he’s gonna do incredible things. I’d like to see more rappers come through; I’d like to see Scorcher come through, Sincere, Krept and Konan, even someone like Devious. I just wanna see people that can rap good come through. Bigz, Sway, who was always just a bit short getting the complete backing he deserved... Wretch32 As always our boy Wretch comes through with a bag of artists to keep our eyes on. We have a feeling there’s a rap resurgence on the way. – RWD Rap Watch Re: Tips For 2012 Hi I’m an 18 year-old student at York University in Toronto. When I was living in the UK I read RWD magazine all the time and found the website really helpful with keeping me up to date with new music and news. So I was wondering, have you guys ever considered having a RWD Magazine branch in Canada? @officialOka Hey OfficialOka, Sounds like we’ve got ourselves a fan, thanks for the advice, I don’t think we’re ready to cross the Atlantic just yet but going pan-Europe looks doable, watch this space and check RWDmag. com/mag. – RWD Distribution Team
