New issue marks a major milestone for the publication, expanding its accessibility from traditional print to a growing global digital audience
The R Report Magazine is entering an exciting new chapter with the release of its latest issue, which will be available across 20+ mainstream digital platforms worldwide, including Apple Books, Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Kobo, and additional digital and retail platforms.
The expansion represents a significant milestone for The R Report Magazine, providing readers with more ways than ever to access the publication while opening the door to a broader national and international audience.
For the first time, readers will have the opportunity to purchase the magazine through an expanded network of major digital platforms, while still having the option to enjoy the publication in traditional paperback print. The combination of digital and print distribution is designed to increase the magazine’s visibility, accessibility, and overall reach while positioning The R Report Magazine for continued growth within the evolving media landscape.
A DOUBLE-SIDED ISSUE CELEBRATING R&B & CULTURE
Adding to the significance of this release, the new issue features a special double-sided cover, spotlighting two distinctive names and stories from the world of music and entertainment.
One side of the cover features R&B royalty Melvin Edmonds JR, singer, songwriter, and producer, and son of the late Melvin Edmonds of the legendary R&B group After 7.
The opposite side features TJ Supa, giving readers a unique two-cover experience that celebrates different perspectives, personalities, and creative contributions within today’s entertainment and cultural landscape.
The double-sided format allows both featured personalities to receive prominent cover recognition while giving readers an issue that feels collectible and designed for fans of music, culture and entertainment.
MELVIN EDMONDS JR: CARRYING FORWARD AN R&B LEGACY
Melvin Edmonds JR. continues to establish his own identity as an independent artist while carrying forward the musical legacy of his late father, Melvin Edmonds, a founding member of the Grammy-nominated R&B group After 7.
As the son of Melvin Edmonds and nephew of legendary songwriter, producer, and musician Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Melvin Edmonds JR. represents another generation of the Edmonds musical legacy.
His appearance on the new issue of The R Report Magazine arrives during an important period in his career following the release of his latest single, “Not Enough Hours,” a contemporary remake of the After 7 classic originally released in 1994.
The recording carries particular significance as Edmonds JR. pays tribute to his father while creating his own chapter within a legacy that has helped shape contemporary R&B.
Rather than simply revisiting the past, Edmonds JR. continues to build upon that foundation through his own music, songwriting, production, and independent artistry.
