JERSEY CITY, NJ – February 2008: "Did you get your twelve today?" That's what all the trendy females will be asking now that 4Control Media, parent company to SOHH.com (www.sohh.com), the longest running and leading hip-hop website with over 5.5 million visitors monthly, today announced the launch of Twelve24Girl.com (www.Twelve24girl.com), a new lifestyle and social networking website targeted towards females ages 12-24.
As a spin-off of the successful SOHH.com brand, Twelve24Girl.com aims to reach the 12 to 24 year old female demographic with a variety of relatable content. The new site supplies users with 12 must-have items each 24-hour period in the categories of entertainment, fashion, career and relationships.
