Issue 123: May 2012 - Read Online Now (w/ RWD: The Legacy)

Celebrating our triple-disc compilation album RWD: The Legacy, Issue 123 has a certain ring to it we're sure you'll agree.

Featuring: Chip, Wretch 32, Rita Ora

In true Danny ‘Random’ style, this idea for the issue was his. “We can’t have issue 123 and not base it on ‘numbers’,” he yelled. We let him roll with it (anything for an easy life) and so here we have our very first ‘Numbers Special’. Anything you ever wanted to know about numericals - it’s in here (probably)! One number-based fact I can definitely give you is ‘2’; which is the amount of super-hot chicks in this issue. Well, there’s actually a lot more than that, but two that are hot in every sense - who isn’t talking about Rihanna and Rita Ora right now? With one taking the tube every five seconds and the other storming the charts, RWD is most haps to have caught up with the two women this ish.
In other number-related issues, with over ‘10’ years in the business, we were delighted when Sony approached us about doing our first compilation album. With our history in the game it was only right we titled it The Legacy, which is what we think these covers are about to create. Both the album and this issue features RWD favourite’s past and present - from Yasmin’s Ms. Dynamite Ft. Light Up (The World), we also catch up with Oxide & Neutrino, Ms Bratt, Chipmunk, C4, Preditah, Wretch and Skepta. If they haven’t been on the cover of RWD already (which most have, at least once), then it’s certainly time they were.
Make sure you go cop the album out 21 May (pre-order now!) while reading this issue, and once you’ve done that, head over to the brand new, redone, redid, redesigned RWDmag.com. We know, just when you thought we couldn’t get bigger and better, we just got that much bigger and better....!
