Positive Influence For the Future 

Meek Mill said it best. 

To paraphrase: there’s three kinds of 

people in life... people that make it 

happen, people that watch it happen, 

and people that don’t even know what’s 

gong on... which one are you? 


With so many different 

defintions to the term “woke” 

and the way that the media has 

twisted it to turn it into some 

type of indifferent joke, it’s hard 

to determine sometimes which 

type of awakening we’re searching 

for when someone tells us, 

“stay woke”. 

In this instance, we’ll refer 

to it as a whole in general and 

simply say that here at P.I.F.F. 

Magazine, we’d like you to stay 

woke and open your eyes to the 

puppet-show and masquerade 

that’s going on around you... 

some people will have their eyes 

opened and use their knowledge 

for progression and change; 

others will do nothing with it 

but complain about the way the 

system is so flawed; yet they are 

the same ones contributing to 

the flawed system because they 

choose to do nothing... if we feed 

you here at P.I.F.F., will you eat 

and let it stick to your ribs? 

Been a minute I know... five 

years to be exact. Where have 

we been? What happened? All 

of that will be explained, but I 

won’t give it all away in our first 

relaunch issue, so you’ll have to 

stick with us. For first-timers, 

P.I.F.F. Magazine is an entertainment 

mag that highlights aspiring 

talent on their serious grind in the 

underground. We feature models, 

music artists, comedians, athletes, 

producers, dancers, graphic artists, 

entrepreneurs, etc. 

And yes, we will always have 

some type of eyecandy model on 

our covers because let’s face it, it 

draws attention and sometimes 

controversy which leads to more 

attention and regardless of how 

it gets you there, you shall find 

your way into the magazine where 

my true woke people know that 

the cover model and image was 

simply our way of saying, “we’re a 

sexy magazine.” Because knowledge 

is sexy. Positivity is sexy. 

And regardless of how we do it, 

it will always be done classy and 

tastefully. Some people say, “what 

about the kids?” Well, I’m sorry, 

P.I.F.F. is not a kids magazine and 

if they’re seeing it, that’s the parent’s 

job to be monitoring their 

children’s social media lives. 

This issue: our cover feature 

is Taylor Gee, one of the nicest 

artists coming out of Anchorage, 

Alaska. We also chopped it up 

real quick with Flamez La Candela 

holding it down for New 

York. Find out what Musicoin 

is and why it could be changing 

the future of the music industry. 

Lebron James’ promise? What’s 

that all about? We got something 

to stop and make you think: how 

do you know what you know? 

Taj “Real Talk” Thomas is back 

to talk his sh** again! And Averie 

McKinney did her thing on the 

V.E.N.T. interview with Reese 

White. It’s all here in our 1st relaunch 

issue. Welcome us back. 

P.I.F.F. is definitely woke...

She’s on her way to drawing heat to Anchorage, 

Alaska and she’s one of the most influential and 

representative voices of the Anchorage underground 

hip hop market. Taylor Gee has been 

deemed Best Female Vocalist, Best Female 

Rapper, and Rookie of the Year by the Alaska 

Hip Hop Awards. Signed to Unbreakable Music 

Group in 2015, she’s been heavy on-grind ever 

since and has opened up for major acts such as 

Jon B, J Holiday, Keyshia Cole, and 2 Chainz. 

Now, with the release of her EP titled ‘TKOVR’, 

she’s ready to become the face of female hiphop 

in Alaska and worldwide; even if it means

P.I.F.F. REVIEW 

She flexes with a versatility 

of flows ranging from sounds 

reminiscent of A Boogie [with 

the Hoody], Cardi B, and Nicki 

[Minaj] mixed with Snow [tha 

Product] but yet as always, Honey 

C, formerly known as Honey 

Cocaine, is in her own lane as she 

finds a way to bring all these elements 

to a perfect blend... From 

a chef in the kitchen to the lab 

where she’s obviously developed 

1.) Woke Up Feelin - the album 

opens up just right with a song that 

gives us a glimpse of the personal journey 

that Honey’s overcome over the 

past 3 years and where she stands now 

in her recent transition from aspiring 

artist first hitting the scene in 2013 to 

now becoming an underground legend 

who kept the daily social media 

streams trending even months before 

announcing her return. It is a track 

that touches your heart but is easy on 

the ears and gives you an intimate look 

HONEY C - WILDF IRE 


to hear at least one song where it’s 

just them and the artist - a musical 

one-on-one and Honey does just that 

with Numb, which gives you an inside 

look at how human a celebrity can feel 

and it gives us a look at her personal 

growth as she closes out the song with, 

“be about your business, we can build 

something...” 

even more as a solid 

artist who proves that 

she can take time off 

the return of Honey Cocaine 


and still come back and land 

smoothly in the top spot at the 

throne she deserves and has put 

the work in to prove it. 

In a generation of a time 

where artists focus more on 

singles than making a good album 

and where 85% of emerging 

artists become one hit wonders, 

Honey provides a classic 

album with her August 3 release 

of ‘Wildfire’ (2018) , an 11 

track follow up to ‘the Gift Rap’ 

and prior releases such as ‘‘Like 

A Drug’, ‘Thug Life’, ‘90’s Gold’. 

into Honey’s heart, a side that she 

opens the door to expressing for the 

first time. 

2.) Whole Lotta Sh*t - the 2nd 

track on Honey C’s new album gives 

us that cocky, raw, shit-taking femcee 

we fell in love with and just to remind 

everyone where she’s been recently 

and whether she been stressin shit 

the way her haters have, she boasts, “I 

been on a wave you cannot touch...” 

3.) Numb - Every true fan wants 

4.) Two Cents - On Two Cents, she 

reminds us of why hip-hop needs Honey 

C as she gives us that laid back mellow 

sound that you can ride to, vibe to, 

smoke to... 

5.) No Time - No Time is another 

classic in the vault and it comes at the 

best timing in the album as it presents

(continued from page 65) 

an audio visual of Honey C at the top 

of her game. The first single in her reemergence, 

she boldly states that she’s 

“young, but I never been dumb... Broke 

and im never goin back./ I just had to 

grow up fast... Facts./ Sick days, I ain’t 

takin’ no time off;/ light one just to take 

my mind off./” You have no choice but to 

bop to the rhythm and acknowledge the 

fact that she’s a beast in every right and 

she’s in a space that no one else can fill 

or move her from. 

6.) Yea Yea - Yea Yea is a cocky song 

and a challenge to all of the women hating 

on the young Queen. She explains 

that her haters keep making threats but 

to show how worried about it she is, she 

reminds them, “b**ches talkin bout the 

fade.../ home alone, on my own, every 

day.../” 

7.) Veteran - the second single off 

the album and the immediate follow-up 

to No Time, it is another timeless project 

that makes you fall in love with her 

all over again as she talks swag, flosses 

all over your ears, and finesses the bars, 


punchlines, and wordplay all over an 

eerie but smooth sounding gritty beat 

produced by Bewill of 1801 Records. 

8.) Chain Smokin - an anthem 

for all smokers and those loving to hear 

Honey talk that sh*t. She brings you 

on a memorable flashback as the weed 

causes her to reflect on days of not being 

able to pay the light bill or water bill, 

put gas in her car, pay rent, or afford 

a decent meal. Its a story of triumph 

over trial and a reminder that no matter 

where you’re from or what you’ve been 

through, you can rise above it all... 

9.) Str8 Up - a playful and energetic 

tone that finds Honey C focusing on her 

melodic R&B side. It is a fearless expression 

of her having fun in the studio and 

revealing more of her personal side as 

sbe continues to grow and develop as an 

artist whos always been true to her fans. 

. 

10.) Light It Up - Honey is in go 

mode as she vents on wax about how 

she’s ready to catch a hater b**ch and 

light it up on her ass. She attempts to 

be humble but she promises that if the 

b**ch texts back on a threat, she might 

just catch an assault. It’s more of a girl 

fight type of anthem, but fellas can appreciate 

it for its original Honey Cocaine 

sound on it as well. 

11.) Wildfire - She provides a perfect 

close to the album w the title track 

where she goes ham just to remind you 

of who the original Queen of Toronto is 

by spitting that format of hard bars, flex 

flow, and swag talk and money talk that 

made us fall in love with her in the first 

place. All that tells us is that at heart, 

Honey is still the same, she just evolved 

from Honey Cocain to Honey C and 

Wildfire is an expression of her beginning 

steps in this journey of womanhood.
