The cover which was shot in honor of the late 80’s classic film The Breakfast Club, features model Kai Morae (daughter of actress Lisa Raye McCoy), actor/rapper Quincy Brown (son to singer Al B. Sure & step-son of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs), singer/actress Skye Townsend (daughter of actor/director Robert Townsend), director Alfredo Flores (credit: include Justin Bieber & Mariah Carey) and emerging Hip Hop/Pop recording artist H. Wood City (credits: include Lil Kim & Soulja Boy). Each of them had a bit to say about their humble beginnings, friendship and following in the steps of their successful parents & mentors:
