Origin
Issue #1 (the Skope Eye issue) was published in 2001. It was printed in black and white, totaled 20 pages, and focused its content on Boston area musicians and emcees. An initial tag-line stated that Skope is "Boston's Premier Local Music Magazine," an idea based on the vision of featuring only local area musicians that were beneath the MTV radar. As the magazine grew, there was such interest from both indies and major labels that the staff was able to cover both levels across various genres. In the beginning it was never considered that the industry would embrace Skope in the manner that it did. Skope benefited from having major label artists next to indie bands.
