Scratch Magazine is the best major mag to date for hip hop producers.

Why can't I find the newest issue with Rza or Mannie Fresh on it ? I've been to 3 Grocery stores. They've got guitar mag, surf mag, XXL, Source, Keyboard, Future Music, King . . . but no Scratch.

Please point me in the right direction. Can I only find it at a major magazine stand ???

I had to go to this major newsstand in West LA to cop it. Also got some mag called "Juice" that I've never even heard of.

Producers out there need to let retailers know that we DEMAND this mag. I can't understand how urban music (rap/R&B) dominates the airwaves/clubs but Scratch mag can't get respectable distribution.
Producers have long been overlooked, it's about D&^% time !

Spread the word,

I just subscribed when i found it at a studio.. go to the website and subscribe dude..its cheaper that way.. they only put it out erry 2 months tho. ur rite tho its a GREAT mag. i just dont think the average joe is a producer and maybe its hard to sell to the masses that way... i mean u dont see keyboard or mix or any of those in the major places other than borders etc i dont think... i could be wrong.
