Join us for our annual Music Issue as we dive into 50 years of Kansas City's hip-hop history. We also take a tour of Element Recording Studios in KCK, learn the dos and don'ts of concert etiquette, meet local Mormon hardcore punks in Missouri Executive Order 44, explore the experimental noise rock of Selvedge, claw up the patriarchy with Cat F!ght, meet the Lost Wax collective behind the music at the NFL Draft 2023, learn what rhythms power the Current with the KC Blue Crew, try some modern French street fare at Velouté, and gain some insight on the behind-the-scenes concert magic with sound engineer Victoria Brooks and Paramore's production assistant, Eric Fain.
