Enveonline was created as a result of a reaction to the numerous doors that were shut in the faces of EOM’s dedicated founders by other magazine outlets that said new innovative concepts would never make it in this industry. Coupled with the fact that Johnson and Jones were exhausted with seeing and reading the same rehashed content and ideals

OVER THE LAST DECADE WEST COAST HIP-HOP has been on the decline in terms of record sales, media attention and successful artists. All of the above is about to change with the emergence Cali’s newest lyrical giant (we mean this literally) a 6’6” rapper named Jag. Jag’s flow, unlike the traditional west coast sound, would find an ear in East Coast veteran Cassidy the Hustler. It’s clear from his appearances on Applied Pressure 2 and Cassidy’s album C.A.S.H that Jag is here to revive the west and here’s how he’s going to do it.

iding on the cutting edge of technology by offering subscribers the option to purchase print or digital versions of each issue, Enveonline has broadened their reach to the masses by embracing the digital wave of the future of editorial publications. Readers in international countries can enjoy Enveonline with the swift click of a mouse, while traditional print subscribers can still thumb through a print version while riding the New York City subway train. This dual availability sets Enveonline in a class of its own for urban publications. Enveonline covers the full scope of hip hop culture, from music to fashion, and prides themselves on never following or duplicating trends, but instead setting them. Enveonline does not just cater to one audience, but they appeal to a wide spectrum of urbanites and hip hop fans by tackling the interviews and stories that other magazines are scared to take a chance on. Enveonline stays authentic by keeping their ear to the streets of what is really important not just in the industry but also with their audience base, not by rotating the same stories that other similar publications are recycling.
“ ENVEONLINE
COVERS THE FULL SCOPE OF HIP– HOP CULTURE, FROM MUSIC TO FASHION, AND PRIDES THEMSELVES ON NEVER FOLLOWING OR DUPLICATING TRENDS... ”
Enveonline is published 4 times a year quarterly, with a regional edition available in the New York City tri-state area, as well as a broader national and international version available online to the public. With a rate base of 5,000 urbanites, Enveonline reaches approximately 5,000 readers per quarter using the mediums of direct mail, subscriptions and online downloads. There is a targeted distribution area in the New York City area within some of the most influential lounges, nightclubs, restaurants and venues that are prominent in the hip hop community. Enveonline also boasts over 100 direct subscribers who receive the magazine directly each quarter.
