The June issue of The Source is on newsstands now; and super hip-hop rap artist Jadakiss talks exclusively with The Source in the June issue.

Rap artist Jadakiss talks about his beef with hip-hop’s 50 Cent. He says, "It ain''t that serious for me. I use everything for promotion until the line gets crossed. But for the most part, this is just my job. I''m a father at the end of the day."  Check out the new issue for the complete story.

Mos Def talks about the state of Hip-Hop and the affects of racism and corruption surrounding the music business. He tells The Source that intelligent Hip-Hop is being overlooked by the decision makers. "People in control like to see niggas fighting, gangster posturing. Those are the only stories they''re interested in."

The June issue also features stories on Cassidy and his rise to the top and incarcerated C-Murder pleads his innocence.

The Source will deliver more exclusives in its July issue next month, but excitement is already growing for the launch of the Millennium version of Hip-Hop's greatest magazine. The Source 5.0 will debut with the August 2005 issue hitting newsstands on July 12, 2005. The newly designed magazine will feature an interactive CD-Rom disc that extends the readers experience beyond the pages of the magazine. The debut edition of The Source 5.0 also includes The Source's first-ever international swimsuit edition shot entirely on the beaches of the Dominican Republic along with much more.

The Source has been the voice for the Hip-Hop movement for over 17 years. The Source is the #1 selling music magazine on newsstands in America, reaching nearly 9 million readers per month.

Co-founder and CEO David Mays, along with Co-founder and Chief Brand Executive Raymond Scott, have successfully built The Source business brand into a renowned trademark, with extensions in music, television and consumer products such as clothing and DVD's.
