KING magazine is back! The “Illest Men’s Magazine Ever” is officially relaunching right on time for the holiday season.
This incarnation, newly christened The Women of KING, has undergone a few changes. To whet the appetite of the brand’s devoted fans, the magazine will be released four times a year. More importantly, like the new title suggests, The Women of KING will focus on the beautiful women that populate hip-hop’s biggest videos as well as the entertainment and modeling industry, as it did before.
Take the premiere issue, for starters, with XXL’s Eye Candy of the Year, Rosa Acosta, gracing the cover. Not only is the Dominican dime sexing up the pages, but video vixens such as Shakur Stewart, Bria Myles, Briana Loyd and Sasha Del Valle are scorching 82-pages worth of pictorials.
In addition to the visuals, the collector¹s issue also gives praise to some of KING’s biggest stories over its eight-year history, including must-reads on Jay-Z, Diddy, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, T.I., Dave Chappelle and President Barack Obama.
The Women of King¹s Winter 2010 issue hits shelves on December 24, ladies, now you know what to get your guy for Christmas. —XXL Staff

I liked King Magazine but when times get rough it was one of the first things I cut [esp. when you can view the pictures for free online]. Sorry, it was good while it lasted.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.
While we’re relaunching magazines, the bigwigs in charge need to be finding a way to get SCRATCH back in production, asap. I’d even be happy with the quarterly format. Just bring it back!!!
