Redman and adult film star Sinnamon Love will be featured on the cover of the second issue of urban adult magazine, Fish ‘N’ Grits’.
Red joins his partner-in-crime, Method Man, who was featured on the publication’s premiere issue, which also included articles with Kanye West, Too Short and The Clipse.
This time, Twista, Avant, E40 and Youngbloodz share their sex tales.
“Our magazine is upscale and urban,” Camille Burgos, co-publisher of Fish ‘N’ Grits said in a statement.
“Magazines for men generate top sales in today’s marketplace. But no one is able to offer what we offer. Either they don’t showcase women of color on a regular basis, or they tease you with partial nudity. ‘Fish ‘N’ Grits’ is able to bring it to you full and up front and no holds barred. Music and sex have always been kissing cousins and Fish ‘N’ Grits expounds upon that truth!”
Fish ‘N’ Grits’ second issue featuring Redman on the cover is on newsstands now.
Rapper Foxy Brown will introduce a custom line of furs and possibly an accessory line called Champaign & Ice.
Partnering with Alexis & Ganni for the collection, the exotic line will include pieces made from mink and chinchilla, with prices ranging from $2000 to $12,000.
To promote her latest venture, Foxy will do six in store appearances across the country to create buzz about the line, which will be sold to most upscale clothing outlets in the United States this year.
