The edition, which features a look at what’s hot in music for the summer, will be the first full magazine posted on iTunes and featured on iTune’s "New and Notable" podcast section.

Although the magazine’s print edition will continue to be a focus, Fader publisher Andy Cohn sees the iTunes issue as "an incredibly unique opportunity to reach a whole new audience and bring additional attention to the artists that we’re covering."

"We’re about bringing attention to the emerging artists and musicians that we love and are always looking for a way to get the word out," he added.

Fader’s summer music issue is available now at http://www.thefader.com/podcasts.

Rick Ross is also featured in the June 3, 2006 issue of Billboard magazine. The article discusses Ross’ 4 album deal with Def Jam and how "Hustlin" is dominating the MTV countdowns. Pick up your copy of Billboard and check out the article.
