Drafting this issue of Southern Plug Magazine has been a great process. Thinking that just 3 shorts months ago we hosted the Metro Music Awards. Through our events over the years we have garnered working relationships with many artists from all southern markets. And, also taking into account that we made the move from Columbia, SC to Charlotte, NC which has a bigger media market. All this has cummulated into the new Southern Plug Magazine that you now hold in your hand. Which features some of the dopest up and coming entertainers from the South today on the cover! Entertainers DJ Chuck T, Kweema Dess, Tasia B, & Janelle Moore. This issue also features Zennjay, Sally Sosa, WeFamAtl, & many more. i want to say thanks to all our features and advertisers. Who were just super helpful during the completion of this issue. This is definitely an issue you will not want to miss so head on over to MagCloud.com to get your copy.
COVER STORY: shae mack srops new music
In Columbia, SC everyone knows Shae Mack. Weather you know her from bartending and hosting at some of the most iconic parties & hotspots in the city. Or maybe you know her as the bomb ass sexy girl with dope photos and funny posts on social media. One thing for sure, Shae Mack is one of the most popular socialites in a city where there is no professional sports teams or media market, and bottle girls party promoters & hosts are the local celebrities. Aside from all that Shae is also known as one of the most prolific female lyricists in the State. There’s just one problem. Shae doesn’t really consider herself an artist. With her not seriously perusing music but sporadically releasing freestyle videos she has left fans wanting more. But time after time she has just ignored the anticipation for a Shae Mack radio release to continue doing what she does best. Party hard and get paid for it and bartend. I even had a serious heart to heart with her after the 2023 Metro Music Awards in Columbia, SC. Where Shae Mack was the host of the Show. I expressed to her that I thought it was time for her to take her God given gift of rap more seriously and release some radio hits and start touring. She responds, “you know Darren you are not the first person to tell me such but honestly that’s just not in my heart to do. I walked away from that conversation disappointed and thinking that I may never see a Shae Mack album or tour. And, since I’ve grown to be ok with that. Then one July 2024 day I’m on my laptop and who do I see posting on Facebook. None other that the sexy Shae Mack and this was no regular Shae Mack Facebook post. I caught the post after it had only been up for an hour and the video already had hundreds of likes. Shae Mack was making the announcement that I though she never would. That she was releasing a full studio EP for her birthday. Of course, this excited me and I know I just had to get her on the cover of this magazine before it was released. One problem though, we already had a cover artist, and I wasn’t about to strap her and all the work that we had put into this issue. That’s when my Sales Director had the great idea of making 4 covers and making it a special edition release. Sop we did, and we called it Fempire: Boss Ladies Edition III. The sequel to the 2015 and 2021 issues we had released. So, I’ve listened to the album, and I must say I’m impressed. I love the flow of the album and the versatility. Coming with hot Meagan the Stallion like, I’m that Bitch type , record even to my favorite song on the entire Project. Broken promises” feat. Ainchuu GeeGee. Which is kind of a love song letting a guy know that he will never ever find another love like hers. One thing for sure Shae Mack has what it takes to make it in this new industry of hard-hitting, empowered black women speaking their truth their own way. But one has to wonder will this be the last time we hear a Shae Mack release or will this album, “Introduction to Shae Mack catapulte her into the superstar that we here at Southern Plug knows she’s destined for. Guess we all have to stay tuned on her socials @shaesosavage on Instagram Snapchat & YouTube, @shae.p.mack on Facebook. In order to see what shew will do next..
