The Source is a U.S., monthly full-color magazine covering hip-hop music, politics, and culture. The magazine was founded as a newsletter in 1988 by college students David Mays and Jon Shecter distributed from their dorm room, and is now owned by Black Enterprise Incorporated. The current president of the publication is Jeremy Miller. From humble beginnings, The Source had grown into one of the largest and most influential hip-hop publications in the United States. It had even grown to the point of being called The Bible of Hip-Hop.
