Brooklyn, NY, March 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Heed magazine, the voice of an emerging subculture, is pleased to announce the launch of its inaugural digital issue on Friday, March 26, 2010. The focus of the issue is Diversity. Heed Is an urban-based quarterly digital publication focused on expressing positive, diverse and spiritual perspectives on our generation as it relates to current events, politics and popular culture. Heed is available at Zinio.com and online at http://www.heedmag.com.
“Through music, arts, culture, social class and ethnicity we applaud both commonality and originality.” says founder and publisher Saoul Vanderpool. “The United States boasts one of the most diverse populations of any other country but we fail to truly stand together on a united front. I chose diversity as the theme of our launch issue to represent and celebrate the true image of our country. Breaking down the feeble barriers of antipathy among ourselves opens a door to the greater possibilities unity offers by virtue of love.”

Outasight is young, well-spoken, and represents New York hip-hop on an international level. Could Curtis Blow have imagined that one day, a white kid from the bricks would wear the crown for hip-hop? Is society beyond the shocking “white rapper” taboo? Heed Heed investigates. In The Unspoken Truth: Tonex Steps Out The Box writer Marquel Melton profiles controversial Grammy winning gospel singer Tonex, who talks about his Stellar award winning career, that now infamous interview with radio show host Lexi, as well as his upcoming album A Brilliant Catastrophe. “We may have to do another interview after that one,” says Tonex.

And Heed heads to Harlem on a cold winter’s night for Gospel Uptown and a pre-concert backstage warm up chat with Lalah Hathaway and Rahsaan Patterson, two of the music industry’s best kept secrets. In Obama In Black and White, writer Crystal Wimberly offers up a racial profile of the 44th President of the United States, which also might serve as a look at ourselves.
