Born out of Angel & Z Radio, a New York-based skate and graffiti podcast that first aired in the summer of 2020, the 2022 launch of Living Proof magazine marked a transition in medium, aiming ‘to continue the traditional practice of printed media within graffiti culture.’ Combining interviews with heavily contrasted flash photography, each issue of Living Proof spotlights key figures from the New York skate and street art scene and beyond.
Wiley—the MC and producer widely regarded as the ‘Godfather of Grime’—headlines this edition of Living Proof. A star-studded selection of London’s music greats keep Wiley company, with conversations including fellow grime wordsmith AJ Tracey, N.A.S.T.Y Crew alum D Double E, and emerging rapper M Huncho, part of a new generation redefining British rap. Elsewhere, join the team as they meet a diverse cast of creatives shaping culture in their own way: artist Amy Leung, graffiti icon TOX and skaters Charlie Birch and Karim B.
