Summary

Issue 62 of The Nut (Summer 2019) is dominated by coverage of DERT 2019 in Newcastle, celebrating rapper’s deep roots in the Ouseburn and Cumberland Arms area and praising the triumvirate of hosts: Newcastle Kingsmen, Sallyport and Star & Shadow.

A major thematic section, Teams that don’t exist, explores the culture and longevity of peripatetic “invite-only” sides, with substantial histories of Four Corner Sword and Snark Rapper.

Detailed DERT results and photography capture a high-quality competition, while a long-form feature marks North British’s 25 years, blending humour, tweed, and innovation. Shorter pieces include historical notes on sword locks, the Ossett Beercart “rapper off”, Rapperound news, and community notices, presenting a scene both self-aware and creatively confident.
