Wax Poetics returns with our Summer 2025 edition, packed full of the deepest music stories.
Following the success of Louie Vega's Collection, we explore his legacy - from Latin, house, disco and dance music. In parallel, we revisit the raw impact and enduring influence of Mobb Deep, tracing their blueprint on East Coast hip-hop and beyond.
We'll be announcing auctions with many of the featured artists soon, so this is your chance to dive into their story before you get your chance to own pieces of history directly from them!

"You cover the music that's really inspired me as a musician and artist. So many legends that bubbled just underneath the surface but culturally impacted so many people."
"Wax Poetics distinguishes the music listeners from the music lovers"
"Wax Poetics is necessary reading for the intentional listener."
"People that know Wax Poetics have this strong sense of collecting and what music's really about"
