Rap Pages Magazine - May 1998 - Above the Law Cover

Back With A New Hustle.

Released in May 1998, this issue of Rap Pages features West Coast pioneers and Ruthless Records alumni, Above the Law. Dropping right around the release of their fifth studio album, Legends, this cover story highlights the enduring legacy of Cold 187um, KMG the Illustrator, and DJ K-Oss in shaping the G-Funk sound.

This issue also features strong supporting articles on Ice Cube, Wu-Tang affiliates Sunz of Man, underground legend Aceyalone, and Young Bleed. (Bonus: The back cover features a vibrant vintage 1998 Sprite "Obey Your Thirst" advertisement featuring a photo collage of Nas, AZ, and other hip-hop heavyweights).
