The Chicago-based hip hop magazine FlyPaper is coming back to life and the editors are looking for contributions from young people ages 15-25. Articles can be a mix of 1st person and reported (think Village Voice-style) and the writer should lean in on their personal tone and style. Topics: "The focus has a crazy wide latitude – anything that is interesting for this demographic to write about (age 15-25) that is at least a little Hip Hop Adjacent." Photos will be required.
