Summary

Issue 12 of The Nut (Winter 1998) reflects a confident, outward-looking rapper scene at the close of the decade. It leads with detailed information on DERT ’99, returning to Newcastle and jointly hosted by Sallyport Swords and Newcastle Kingsmen, alongside discussion of DERT’s inclusive ethos.

The issue looks back warmly on the Second Sword Spectacular in Whitby, celebrating its international scope and atmosphere. H

istorical and reflective pieces include a feature on the Five Quarter Rapper, a search for the Cowan Trophy, and “Lost rapper teams”, while tributes and obituaries underline community bonds. Lively team news, tours, humour and opinion reinforce The Nut’s role as both record and social glue for the rapper world.
