The Hype Magazine

The Hype Magazine is an American music and entertainment magazine covering "News from Hip Hop to Hollywood." Founded in 2002 by CEO/Publisher Jameelah "Just Jay" Wilkerson, the brand grew from an exclusively digital/print-on-demand magazine to expand its presence to newsstands in November 2013. In February 2014, the Atlanta City Council honored The Hype Magazine CEO/Publisher Jameelah with a proclamation in her honor as a successful brand owner and female business owner. The Hype Magazine is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana and publishes quarterly in print and monthly in digital/print-on-demand format.
In 2013, The Hype Magazine received its first major entertainment industry award nomination for "Magazine of the year," via the 11th annual Southern Entertainment Awards (S.E.A.). In 2014, the outlet was nominated for "Magazine Publication Of The Year" by the SCM Awards.
The Hype Magazine has nearly 200,000 digital subscribers and 2 million unique visitors per month to its online properties. The Hype Magazine circulation is approximately 200,000 via combined distribution outlets including print and online retailers.
During the magazine's history, The Hype Magazine is noted for having covered new and emerging acts long before mainstream media, often giving these artists their first national magazine cover story or feature story.
