Wow. Two years and still going strong. Can’t believe that it’s been two years since we published and printed our first ever copy of Kix Mag with DJ Ironic gracing our front cover. This issue we have Peter Nzekwu break down Kix Mag, Kix Nyt & Kix Management’s journey to find it’s place in this cut throat industry, where people either love you or hate on you. Regardless we’re still going to push on informing and hopefully educating you as only we know how. October is here and Black History month has come around again. Find out what I think about Black History Month and who we’ve honoured. If you already know about Kix Mag you’ll already know about our artist Young O who’s on our front cover this issue, and if you didn’t know you do now! We thought it ap- propriate to cover Young as his latest release “Never Back Down” is hitting the streets and TV’s screens very soon, as well as being the first gentleman of Kix Management. Find out what he has to say about working with us and success he has experienced. This issue also see DJ ADB and Julie Ann Ryan from Colourful Radio with their Connoisseurs Corner, where they go back in time and educate the young readers and remind the oldies of what and who used to be chart toppers back in the days.
