Vibe Magazine – February 2006 (Chris Brown Cover, The Future of R&B)

A Piece of Vibe Magazine History

The February 2006 issue of Vibe crowns a teenage Chris Brown as the future of R&B, catching the singer at the very start of his rise. Sanaa Lathan sets the record straight on those Denzel rumors, Alicia Keys gives up the goods, and Remy Ma proves she is as nasty as she wants to be. The issue also makes room for Dwyane Wade, Floetry, Bun B, and The Boondocks, along with a travel special mapping four hot spots for 2006. A snapshot of a genre reloading for a new generation, this is Vibe, the magazine that chronicled the soul and swagger of hip-hop and R&B culture.
