David Mays and Ray "Benzino" Scott, the founders of The Source Magazine, have announced next Monday for the release date for their highly anticipated celebrity lifestyle publication, Hip Hop Weekly.
Benzino is the company's chief brand executive, while Mimi Valdes, the former editor-in-chief of Vibe and Vibe Vixen, will serve as the new magazine's executive vice president and editor-in-chief.
Hip Hop Weekly will cover film, TV, music , fashion, sports, and celebrity news. "I am extremely proud to be breaking new ground with the launch of Hip Hop Weekly ," Mays said. "Hip-Hop culture and its celebrities are making news every day, so there is a need for a magazine that can keep up with the much faster pace of news and information flow in the multimedia, Internet-driven world that we are living in today. Hip Hop Weekly's innovative format coincides with the evolving nature of advertising, which is rapidly moving toward a quicker, constantly changing, and more creative approach." According to Valdes, Hip Hop Weekly will document Hip-Hop culture as it takes place. The weekly will also launch with new columns from Wendy Williams and Star & Buc Wild.
"Readers can depend on us for insight, criticism, and perspective on how Hip-Hop influences the world,'" Valdes said. "Our entire team, both business and editorial, is filled with passionate fans that understand the Hip-hop lifestyle. Believe me, that's going to make all the difference."
