New York, NY – This month, startup online hip hop magazine, dropmagazine.com , launched a completely redesigned site with expanded features sections and a brand new aesthetic interface. These new features enhance the online media outlet that already provides an innovative approach to hip hop culture and lifestyle related articles, news, artist interviews, album reviews, editorials, and multimedia.
One exciting new feature is a digital media section updated weekly with the web’s best hip hop tracks and online videos. In this section, users can find interviews ranging in content from talks with performing artists from the sold out Rock the Bells Tour to a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Keith Murray’s "Nobody Do It Better" video.
The upgraded site confirms dropmagazine.com’s commitment to user interaction with commenting features that allow for reader feedback on every aspect, from news to videos. Also, it connects with other sites by giving users the opportunity to rate articles on digg.com or add them to their del.icio.us accounts.
dropmagazine.com instituted these additions with the belief that traditional hip hop media outlets have alienated not only fans of the genre, but also many potential fans by merely reinforcing a few niche markets within hip hop culture. One of the site’s goals is to create a hip hop community in which high quality user-generated content is combined with professional journalism; by doing so, it intends to cover an extensive number of topics with a well-rounded perspective. In addition, dropmagazine.com hosts a diverse articles section covering topics ranging from the New York City Subway Series to America’s first potential Black President and interviews with the likes of Guru, Slum Village, and 9th Wonder.
In less than a year, dropmagazine.com has been recognized for its distinguished content and appeal. Cedric Muhammad, the founder and CEO of CM Cap ( cmcap.com) and The Black Coffee Channel ( http://www.blackcoffeechannel.com/), the publisher of BlackElectorate.com and the former manager of Wu-Tang Clan, has said the following about the young site," dropmagazine.com represents that entrepreneurial spirit which is the source and foundation for hip hop culture, and its survival and growth. They bring a truly unique perspective to hip hop journalism. dropmagazine.com’s time has come and I wish them the best."
With these new upgrades, dropmagazine.com has taken a giant step in furthering its unwavering dedication to becoming the most comprehensive hip hop community and to providing the highest quality hip hop content on the internet. Future plans include partnering with several hip hop outlets to expand additional sections on both a regional and national level.
