NEW WEB SITE DESIGN

 

Peace to the global hip hop community! I finally did it, finished the site redesign (after the hackers took out my site last summer). I’ve got all sorts of news goodies for you, laid out in an easier to read fashion, magazine style. I will be adding more pages (updating the links section, adding a page about films) in the upcoming weeks as well as continuing to flesh out my online catalog of CDs and records for sale. The site also has an RSS feed now (see at the bottom of the front page). Check it all out at www.worldhiphopmarket.com

Before you know it, it will be January and I’ll be talking about the Best of 2008 in global hip hop. If you have any great global hip hop albums form this year, please pass along the names and links so I can be sure to consider them.
