[GREATER BOSTON AREA, MA] [June 13th, 2026] - SNAKE Magazine is proud to announce the posting of its 15th installment of “The Scoop,” our premier digital series dedicated to spotlighting the rising stars and influential voices within the Massachusetts music, entertainment, and social justice sectors.

 

Since its inception, "The Scoop" has served as a vital platform for deep-dive interviews and artist features, specifically bridging the gap between local culture and social commentary. Since profiling Chad Shabazz shortly after Super Bowl 58, the series has grown at an accelerated pace. After featuring four profiles in its first year and five in its second, "The Scoop" has already produced six interviews in the first half of 2026 alone, with more than a few more scheduled for the upcoming summer season. By focusing on the talent emerging from the Commonwealth and beyond, the series provides an essential stage for the artists and activists shaping our local landscape.

 

"Reaching our 15th release of 'The Scoop' is a significant milestone for our magazine, especially as we continue to champion the incredible talent found right here in Massachusetts," said Kevin Small Jr., Founder and President of SNAKE Magazine. "The Scoop serves as the backbone of our publication—a humble extension of our biannual release schedule that allows us to continue a tradition of meaningful, community-centered storytelling."

​

As SNAKE Magazine continues to expand, "The Scoop" remains committed to exploring the motivations and messages behind the work of modern creatives, ensuring that the stories defining our local neighborhoods receive the national recognition they deserve.
