The magazine will also debut Sean (Puff Daddy) Combs's new release, Forever. The rapper himself is holding his own debut party in an undisclosed Detroit location.

Detroit radio station WJLB says he would not normally "hold even a 20-city CD party for himself," but his company's having lost his two biggest-selling stars - Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace) having been murdered, and Mase having forsaken rap for religion, becoming a minister.

Global Productions says the ladies plan to autograph copies of the third issue of Hot Chocolate, the cover charge has been waived for the party only, "and there are other surprises in store."
