Live from First Aid Comics in Hyde Park on the South Side of Chicago, one of the 'Go's most thorough representatives -- hip-hop legend Rhymefest -- speaks with Weareregalradio.com about the new International Iron Man No. 1 variant cover inspired by the cover for Rhymefest's Man in the Mirror mixtape.

Alongside Marvel illustrator Marco D'Alfonso, Fest speaks on how their particular collaboration came to light under Marvel's hip-hop variant series.

Fest also speaks on how regular people can become more like the super heroes in their favorite books and both men give their takes on what's going on in comics today along with other recommendations in Marvel's historic melding of comics and music. Plus, Fest gives us a head's up on new music he has coming this year.
