New York, NY: The FADER magazine, the definitive voice of emerging music, releases its 47th issue: a hot collaboration of power hits that will, without a doubt, leave readers in desperate need of some sunscreen. Featuring Lil Wayne on the cover following his spring mixtape Da Dorught III and just before the release of his upcoming album this fall, his appearance could not be timelier. Raised by rap music and lauded as the current face of hip hop, Wayne shocks readers with his candid, insane, unhinged and on-the-record descriptions of his journey.

As always, F47 will also be available via iTunes in its entirety, with corresponding audio podcasts and a free download, at www.thefader.com

Our staff went from examining the legacy of rocker Jerry Garcia last month to covering the shocking life and success of Lil Wayne this month, says Andy Cohn, Publisher of The FADER. Our Summer Issue is definitely a blockbuster hit that highlights our range of coverage and what we know our readers will enjoy.
