Urban Grandstand Digital Description:

Publisher: Urban-Grandstand-Digital

Category: Celebrity

Language: English

Frequency: Bi-Monthly

Urban culture & entertainment, covering music, film, sports, fashion, metro-world, and much more. The history of Urban Grandstand goes back to the late nineties as a fan site for a popular rap group. It was in 2003 that the site was converted to Urban Connectionz Online. Under the identity of Urban Connectionz, the newly formed online music site grew to become highly popular, offering full features and interviews with many of Rap and R&B's biggest acts. Things continued until 2012 when the site was shut down for a brief hiatus.

2013 brought along full rebranding and an official relaunch as Urban Grandstand Digital. While there's many digital magazines to choose from, we pride ourselves in the differential coverage we offer our readers. While you'll surely find the latest on your favorite artists, what you won't find are the drama-ridden articles and interviews that fill the pages of many of our counterparts. Obviously, we're in the business of building readership and selling subscriptions just like the next, but we have no desire to bring the culture down any lower than it has already been. Media has developed a bad name, and much of that is because of the salacious coverage that many journalists are offering. Here at Urban Grandstand Digital, we strive to uplift our culture. We wish to offer dynamic content that will teach and inspire, and still manage to entertain.

Issue 8 is definitely packing some of the best features as of lately! Jerome Brooks, of Tyler Perry's The Haves and The Have Nots, graces this month's cover. In our exclusive, Brooks gives us the rundown on his character on #HAHN, as well as many of the other projects he's been a part of in the entertainment industry. His talent stretches well-beyond the acting realm, and he has a solid history in the music world. We explore it all in our cover story. Without giving all the details away ahead of time, we can say that we also have exclusives with Soullow & Neffe, who in addition to starring on the hit reality series Frankie & Neffe are also working to build a series of businesses, Toi & Rouvaun Walker, who star on the hit Bravo reality series, Newlyweds: The First Year, Graphic Artist Sharice Johnson who has built a solid name for herself creating some of the best celebrity portraits of our time, Jilly Anais, Slum Village, Producer James Worthy, Teedra Moses, and Teenear, along with regular features & columns like Critic's Corner and our fitness column with Nu Life Fitness. We also have Part II of our dynamic feature with Orange is the New Black's Marsha S. Blake. In addition, we've launched a new beauty column, and we're leading that column off with an exclusive with rising model Cydnei Chyan! These are just some of the things to look forward to in this issue!
