Article about a magazine, not reliably sourced as clearing WP:NMEDIA's standards for the notability of magazines. Three of the six footnotes here are primary sources which are not support for notability at all (its own press release about itself, its self-published profile in a business directory and a directory entry in a government trademarks database), two more are unreliable source blogs, and the only one that's technically a reliable source is just a glancing mention of its existence in an article whose core subject is an unswag politician trying to co-opt the #swagger hashtag on social media, and even that article primarily addresses his actions in relation to the general culture of hip hop swag rather than singling out this magazine in particular. None of this is notability-making coverage about the magazine, and magazines are not exempted from having to have notability-making coverage just because they exist.
