Me being a fan of music, I feel I’d like to start by giving OZONE Mag a big ups to the movement in the Hip you’re a pioneer in this rap shit. You definitely changed the whole magazine Hop community. Coming from a real nigga behind these walls, it’s not often game. I’m 19 and since I was a lil dude I’ve been buying magazines, every- that you see a magazine with the type of material OZONE comes with every thing from the Sauce to XXL to the [Rolling] Stones to Vibe, even random issue. Especially when the word “real” gets thrown around like it’s a fad. I shit like boat magazines, real talk. When I first got my hands on a copy of especially want to give a shout out to the mag for the Prison Diary section. OZONE Magazine a couple years ago I was like, DAMN. This is different from It shows that even though we might be behind these walls, we still have an all the other shit I’ve been reading. From the forums to the endless pages opportunity to voice our opinion. I’m coming home in a hot second and I’m of photos to reviews to the covers, I was amazed. You raised the bar to a still gonna be on OZONE when I touch the street. Shout out to all the real higher level. Fuck the other side. You know what the fans and readers want niggas that are behind these walls, the ones that kept it 100%! Stop snitch- and you give it to ‘em. ing, suck ass niggas! - Carlana Entertainment, via Myspace (Dayton, OH) - Andres Nunez, via inmatemessage.com (Atlanta, GA) I love your write-ups in OZONE, but D.C. has a hidden jewel that you need I remember when you were trying to get your mag out on a major level, so to cover. Wale, Raheem Devaughn, J Holiday, etc need to be recognized. it’s great that you’re doing major numbers now. I’m currently in a Federal Love the dirty South though! prison but I’m a music man myself, and my best homie for a lot of years, - Duane Russell, via email (Washington, DC) Dramills, is a Hip Hop artist on the rise. You’ve featured him in your mag before, back in ’05. I’d love to see my homie in your mag again. - Steven Currie, via inmatemessage.com (Greensboro, NC) What’s happenin’? I was wondering why y’all ain’t mention the passing of Dolla, the one with the record “Who Da Fuck Is Dat” featuring T-Pain. I’m a diehard OZONE fan and he deserves a shout out. Hell, he had a video. Oh, The latest sex issue of OZONE is the shit. I think that was my favorite issue and I was hoping that y’all could fuck with Arkansas from time to time. It’s so far. I like the interview with Mr. Marcus and the dominatrix chick. Damn, the home of Ne-Yo and others, and we’re not as country as [the TV show] the whole thing was awesome. I couldn’t put it down. It made me feel like I “Simple Life” with that dumb hoe Paris Hilton portrayed us as. Check out needed to read every article. Lottury (I had to self-promote) because he’s one of the best, period. Listen - Joker da Bailbondsman, via inmatemessage.com (Anchorage, AK) to him first, see that he’s worthy, and then print this. Big ups to all of the South and the rest of the Coasts that get down with it. Y’all ain’t sellin’ out. - Rome a.k.a. Lottury, via email (Arkansas) I’m a big fan of OZONE Mag and your award show. It reminds me of Murder Dog, but two times better. You really capture the underground Hip Hop Editor Responds: We did cover Dolla’s passing (R.I.P.) on ozonemag.com and scene like no one else out there.
