What's the common denominator for Jill Scott, Tracee Ellis Ross and Lil Wayne? The three of stars are on the cover of an August/September issue of a magazine. Jill, Tracee, and Weezy each cover Essence, Upscale, and XXL magazine respectively.
In the September issue of Essence Magazine, Jill Scott covers her weight 63-pound weight loss, her fascination with wigs (and Andrea "The Dreamweaver" Burrough) and her new feature in the movie about legendary James Brown, "Get On Up." The slimmer Jill shows of her new curves in a black body con dress and even gives the scoop about finding new clothes.

Flawless 41-year-old Tracee Ellis Ross graces the cover of Upscale Magazine to showcase not only her timeless beauty, but her Feminist views, "Being Black," and loving her Body. The new ABC-series star of "Black-ish" talks with Upscale about the show's concept. The family-comedy airs Wednesday, September 24 on ABC. Check out more on Tracee in the August issue of Upscale!
Lastly, Young Money's head honcho Lil Wayne is on the cover of XXL to talk about his 12th studio album 'Tha Carta V' (still without a set release date). The tagline "Nothing Left to Prove" is interesting, but so is the interview. Wayne talks about Hip-HOp and his authenticity stating that "I know I'm authentic because I'm 35 million years in the game." Wayne also hits on Drake and Nicki Minaj taking over the rap game and even how Prince is one of his musical inspirations! The August/September issue of XXL hits the newsstands August 12th, so be sure to pick up your copy for more on Lil Wayne!
