Hip-hop and rap have been driving culture in the U.S. for almost four decades now, especially in America. So why are these songs missing from the Top 40? It's ...complicated.
I don’t use the mainstream streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music or Pandora, and Dear God no, I will not turn on the radio and listen to any Clear Channel radio stations. Fuck that noise.
Occasionally I will put on SomaFM, which I have been listening to since the year it launched, it’s got many different channels which gives me a variety to choose from. Also sites like The Oedipus Project or IndieShuffle.
Where do you go do discover new music?
Bandcamp.
