Lovin Local Talent | Just a Lil Hype Magazine | Vancouver
By Jordana Mah
"Throughout the Vancouver area, you hear many people saying how small Vancouver is or how everyone knows everyone. If this truly was the case, or even remotely, then you would have heard about all or most of the talented, innovative, and most of all, HYPED up individuals that riddle our cities. Clearly this is not the case for even a small portion of our population as there exists a large disconnect between impression and reality. Founder Alan Ng and co-founder Jenkin Au felt strongly about this disconnect and decided to feature what Vancouver has to offer in justalilhype!" - About section from justalilhype.com
Certainly these words ring true for any Vancouverite. We're a small fish when it comes to comparing to other larger and more glam metropolis' in the world, but from the POV of a non-born-and-raised Vancouverite, I can tell you that we are quite lucky. Vancouver is a gorgeous, clean city and it has a lot to offer culturally. Sites like Just a Lil Hype (and Schema of course *ahem*) seek to wake us up out of our whiny stupor and learn to not take our city for granted. You only need to look at Just a Lil Hype's current issue to get a glimpse of all the local talent Vancouver has: DJ Flipout, model Kathryn Gfellner, Vancouver Fashion Week, and the Vancouver Asian Hip Hop Summit to name a few.
Started just this year by founders Jenkin Au, and Alan Ng, this cool online magazine focuses on underground and local music, fashion, artists, and individuals. So, if you're an artist wanting some exposure, or just a person seeking something new in Vancouver, then click over to Just A Lil Hype to find all your answers.
