Also in our second issue we have introduced several new sections:
Outside the Lines – a section dedicated to highlighting women doing their thing outside the lines of hip-hop, but still deserve some shine.
Power Juice – takes a look at women working behind the scenes in hip-hop. This section will feature articles about the women who make things happen. The CEO’s, owners, and entrepreneurs who make the wheels go round.
The Anti-Style Report – is the fashion and beauty area of the site. We will showcase a variety of clothing lines, stylists and everyday people who redefine hip-hop "style" and beauty in general.
