Greetings again, here we come with another episode of Virgin Islanders at their best! It is with great pride that I let you all know that this issue is nothing less than fire! We're featuring the King of V.I., St. Croix's own Apostle, I bet you'll be surprised to know some of your favorite hits were written and performed by Apostle. I'd like to say thanks to Apostle and his people for their time and energy working with us and working for the people of the Virgin Islands. (CROWN ME!!) We also have a good look from Eh-kuu-me! Yo done know we went directly to building 22 in Ras Valley to seek out Rancho when he ain't ringing tone on the latest! Then you all are going to get familiar with Smokey B. For years he has the radio on the edge. We also have Beatdown Records, Project Groundation, Bamboo Station, and you know we have more than a peep into the first V.I. Idol. Congrats to all who participated and were involved in making it so entertaining for us to enjoy.

We always feature a bad ride that have the streets holding their breath, this time we have a treat, we sat in at Westline's Car Show, the pics are fabulous! We also did something in sports, my good friend Bruce the bike man. He's been reppin'down here like whoa, now when you see him peddling up one of hills you could big him up! Oh, did I mention that we were at V.I. Fashion Week? I'm not even gonna say anything about it; the pages will do all the talking! I would like to shout out Henry and his entourage for bringing fashion week to the Virgin Islands! It is more than a privilege for me to have this opportunity to showcase the best of the Virgin Islands. As we are approaching the end of the year we have a lot to be thankful for. 2007 is when CORE Magazine hit the streets, and as we're heading into 2008, we are highly anticipated by our readers. Thank you my people! Just so you all know; we post all of the actual interviews and features online coremagazine.vi and at anyone of our social networking sites. Just a little something extra provided by our street team.

P.S. Thanks to our sponsors and partners for trusting and believing in our dreams, it takes heart in these times to invest in a group of young people, because of your courage to trail-blaze we honor you! I am inviting the community to embrace CORE as a definite plug to the center of the Virgin Islands' urban culture.
