"I see a lot of talent and potential, at the same time, I see a lot of lost potential.." - Lauryn Hill

RareHipHop.com is proud to introduce a part of our movement that will be very important to the viability and sustainability of our independent artists and it is called 'Hood Story'. Through this section you will be able to see who is doing what locally, which in turn will allow both fans and non-fans of Hip-Hop to support local artists, thus enabling them to make a positive and better life for themselves.

Many of these local 'underground' or unknown artists you see in your neighborhood everyday. Hip-Hop artists want to tell their story through their music and they need your support to keep them off the streets and in the studio. 'Hood Story' allows you to 'give back' to those in your community that are working hard to 'do the right thing'. Your involvement in your neighborhood this way may even encourage others to give it a go in music, in essence creating jobs.

You are going to hear the latest beats, as well as the lyrics streaming from a talented individual. Heads are nodding and hands clapping, this is the life and there's no better place to be than here - repping your hood.

We are bringing your hood to the world. No matter if you are CHI's baddest, NY Finest or from the Dirty Dirty you can see what other areas of the globe are listening too. Hip-Hop is an art and we are no longer seeing the canvas being painted in Cali and New York. Like Rakim said, 'It ain't where you from, it's where you at...' The art is in every corner of the globe and it's only a click away.
