For the fourth instalment of our ISOS journalist interview series Miki, Ryan, & Brandon trade words with LEVEL Magazine’s Editor In Chief, Jermaine Hall. Hall is the definition of a veteran in the game of music and cultural journalism heralding jobs at publications and companies like Vibe, The Source, BET, KING, and now LEVEL under the umbrella of Medium. Hall is the definition of a “finesser” as he has consistently found a place in the industry where he can execute his specific vision.

The guys spoke to Hall about a wide array of topics. They go in-depth about his intention with LEVEL and how the online magazine came to be. They dive deep into various moments in Hall’s lengthy career including his internship days at Vibe and getting Drake on a cover story with Chris Brown. Finally, they all discussed Hall’s thoughts on the roles of writer and editor, both of which he has done personally as well as overseen as a leader. It’s safe to say Jermaine Hall is full of gems and stories so take a listen!
