Rohit Loomba

Bumsquad Magazine

Rohit has interviewed artists such as Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, Papoose, Mobb Deep, Juelz Santana, and Ludacris for Bumsquad Magazine, which he founded in association with the Bumsquad DJz. The debut issue of Bumsquad Magazine found Papoose and Chamillionaire on the covers. In an online interview Rohit briefly mentioned that his harsh criticism of Papoose in the debut issue triggered a less than pleasant response from DJ Kay Slay, who works closely with the New York emcee. It was made clear that words were exchanged, but the extent of the dispute wasn't mentioned further.

Allhiphop

Rohit is also staff at allhiphop.com for which he has interviewed Shawnna, Paul Wall, Trae, and others. In his allhiphop feature on Paul Wall, the popular Houston emcee and Jeweler discussed his trip to Sierra Leone in great detail, commenting on the realities of the diamond trade and the issues surrounding conflict diamonds. The feature was given much attention by fans while some felt that the emcee displayed hypocrisy by continuing to sell and wear diamonds even despite having seen what he described. In his interview with Scarface, Rohit found the legendary southern emcee discussing his exploration of the Islamic Faith as well as the importance of keeping your business straight. An interview with Juelz Santana had the emcee first share that he was working on a full-length album, Can't Feel My Face, with Lil Wayne.

Ozone Magazine

As a writer for Ozone Magazine, Rohit has written features on and conducted interviews with the likes of Jermaine Dupri, Twista, and Lupe Fiasco. Rohit's feature on Jermaine Dupri was part of Ozone Magazine's Top 25 Southern Emcees issue which was done in conjunction with MTV 2 which aired a show coinciding with the issue. Dupri was number 25 on the list for his numerous accomplishments. Rohit's feature on Twista for the January 2006 issue was a cover story in which the rapid fire emcee talked about his then new album The Day After and the absence of Kanye West production on it.
