Comics, with a hip-hop beat: AllHipHop.com spotlights twins Mike and Mark Davis, whose Blokhedz comic book chronicles the adventure of a teen-ager rapper named Blak, "who hopes to save his home from malevolent forces and also learn to manage his mystical power over words":
"Blokhedz is a story about love, loss, and life. It’s about the decisions that effect your life and following your dream. Hip Hop is vital to the story's essence because it's our language -- not just blacks and Latinos, but youth as a whole. When we’re bombarded by exploitive, over-saturated versions of the media’s definition of hip hop, it’s imperative to re-instill a sense of integrity, authenticity, creativity, and quality in this art form that mainlines into the soul."
