In honor of Black Music Month, Ebony Magazine decided to bring the big guns out for their latest issue. For the edition hitting newsstands tomorrow, the publication opted to feature Jay Z, Beyonce, Kanye West and Rihanna with each receiving their own cover.

The four special edition covers will serve as their June issue. Michael Jackson, Tupac, Prince, Usher, and Lauryn Hill are set to be featured in the magazine as well in a  “25-page salute to Black music’s game changers, innovators and icons”.

Here's what Ebony had to say about their new issue.

"In celebration of Black Music Month, EBONY magazine pays tribute to the industry’s leaders, pioneers and game changers. Inside the June issue, EBONY honors both the present-day success stories and the giants who paved the way. The issue is a four-cover series, with Beyoncé, Jay Z, Kanye West and Rihanna gracing the covers as a salute to their unprecedented impact on Black music." #EBONYmag
