Kim O.



Listen up, ya'll! Do you remember when the Source Magazine was hot, and it was once deemed the "notorious bible of hip hop?" For those of you who don't know, the appointed editor-in-chief that was responsible for conjuring up some of the magazine's best selling issues, was a woman. A woman who could spit almost all of the lyrics from Jay-Z's Blueprint album, and witnessed some of the biggest beefs in Hip Hop History. Her name is Kim O. Kim Osorio. If the name doesn't ring a bell, then please by all means get familiar: http://www.kimosorio.com/.

I had the privilege of interviewing this hip hop heroine, exclusively for " E2K" -Everything 2 Know Magazine, the elite women's lifestyle publication, (http://www.http//e2kmagazine.ning.com). Kim was chill, honest, and refreshing, as she openly addressed her widely publicized lawsuit alledging sexual harassment, gender discrimination, defamation, retaliatory discharge, and defamation of character, against former Source owners, Benzino and Mays, in 2005. Kim talks about winning her lawsuit, and what her stand represents for all women who have found themselves a victim of sexual harassment. This interview exclusive will debut in the next issue of E2K Magazine, will keep you all posted!!!!
