It looks like it’s the end of another hip-hop magazine era. XXL, along with KING and Antenna magazines were recently bought by Townsquare Media, and they just announced that they are ending the print edition of the hip-hop mag after this month’s October issue.

According to Billboard, the company also owns Hype Magazine, and will now be ending the famous magazine’s 17-year-long run in print.

A statement was released by Townsquare Media’s CCO on the news:

“The acquisition of XXL, King and Antenna from Harris Publications represents the continued growth of Townsquare Media’s national digital asset portfolio and our commitment to the cultivation of influential brands and original multimedia content in music and entertainment.”

XXL on our newsstands will definitely be missed. What was your favorite cover with the magazine?
