David Mays and Ray Benzino Launch 'Hip-Hop Weekly' Publication

The founders of The Source Magazine, David Mays and Ray "Benzino" Scott, are launching their new creation, Hip Hop Weekly, which will appear nationally on newsstands October 16th. Hip Hop Weekly will be an "entertainment news & celebrity lifestyle publication".
Hip Hop Weekly will report on all the news, events and issues surrounding the hip-hop community, right as they happen. The magazine will cover film, TV, music, fashion, sports and celebrity news with an authoritative voice, and will serve a 50/50 male/female readership from 15 to 40 years old.

"This is a great day for our team up at Hip Hop Weekly and for hip-hop as a whole," said Ray Benzino, Chief Brand Executive of Hip Hop Global Media, the holding company that is backing the launch of Hip Hop Weekly. "I want the readers to know that they can expect something incredible. It only makes sense, considering that between myself, Dave, Mimi, Wendy and Star, the years of experience we have -- stretching from the street side to the corporate side to magazines to radio to TV -- is incomparable. We will continue to give the people what they desire, and that's the realness, which they will now be able to get every week in our new magazine."

Mimi Valdés, formerly Editor-in-Chief of VIBE and VIBE Vixen, is the new weekly's Executive Vice President and Editor-In-Chief, as well as its co-owner. "With HHW's revolutionary format, we're better equipped to document this culture as it happens. Readers can depend on us for insight, criticism, and perspective on how hip-hop influences the world. 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." Valdés is leading an editorial team including radio hosts Wendy Williams and Star, who will each author weekly columns for the new magazine.

"I am extremely proud to be breaking new ground with the launch of Hip Hop Weekly," said David Mays, CEO of Hip Hop Global Media. "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 multi-media, 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. Hip Hop Weekly is simply a more timely and more engaging way to serve today's hip-hop consumer."
