Stealth magazine
Encyclopedia
Stealth Magazine is an independent hip-hop magazine from Australia. Founded by Mark Pollard, it debuted in June 1999 with The Arsonists on the cover. Its first three issues were zine-like in format (mostly black and white with a colour cover). In 2000 it went full colour and had a bonus CD attached to it and was quickly picked up for distribution by Tower Records worldwide (mag department now deceased).

The magazine's editorial content has mostly focused on the independent hip-hop scenes around the world with the CD including music from Australia, USA, Canada, England, Switzerland and South Korea.
