As summer approaches Essence is heating up its covers starting with the Vacation Issue that features none other than the Lyon Brothers of "Empire." Every since the debut of the show, we just can't get enough of these guys! Trai Byers, Jussie Smollett and Bryshere Gray have been everywhere from talk shows, news shows, radio and magazines. YASSS give us out dosage!
For those random few who have no idea who these brothers are, let me briefly school you. Empire is a drama/soap opera that centers around a music and entertainment company ran by a family, The Lyons. Of course like any other family the Lyons has their share of drama. Trai plays eldest son Andre who his educated, suffers from a disorder (watch it, I'm trying not to give too much away), and wants to head the company. Jussie plays the middle child and black sheep of the family Jamal. He's the very talented singer/songwriter of the family who has close ties with his brother Hakeem and has his own style of music. Did I forget to mention he's gay? Then last but not least there's Bryshere aka Hakeem. He's the baby boy of the family, fame-crazed and playboy status if you will, but he is the next big hip-hop star on the rise.
Now that you're all caught up just take in all of the hotness! I've already gotten my issues featuring the Lyon's, how about you?
*This isn't a paid promotion of any sort by Essence or any of its affiliates. I happen to be a for real fan.
