Since the beginning
of Hip-Hop, the mixtape has been an unseen integral part of the music business and now, a new magazine will be published to highlight new DJ’s, artists and industry elite.Mixtape Magazine will be published by Luigi Agostini of E. Entertainment
Group & Publishing.
The pocket size, 100 + page, four-color magazine will be published
on a quarterly basis and will be available on the East Coast in record shops,
retail clothing stores, and online.
“Our goal is to break artists by words,” said Editor-In-Chief
Kay Konnect. “We simply want to give shine to talent stranded in the dark
of the game. We also choose to shed light on those DJs, artists, executives,
and fashion-forward-folks that respect the business of mixtape music and the
Hip Hop culture.”
The magazine will include feature stories on Mixtape DJs, up-and-coming
artists, producers, music industry executives, nightlife professionals (executives
and promoters), mixtape reviews and fashion layouts with popular Hip Hop culture
celebrities.
The cover story of the launch issue profiles two mixtape heavyweights—DJ
Sickamore and DJ Drama of The Aphilliates.
Mixtape Magazine
will launch this spring with an estimated readership of 30,000 and will retail
for $3.95.
