I said a hip, hop, a click…

The global hip-hop community: twenty four million people between the ages of 19-34, from a range of nationalities, ethnic groups and religions.
Their collective spending power is £250 billion annually in the U.S. alone. Naturally, there are lots of online properties dedicated to Hip Hop but now the property is theirs
Users set initial interests (video, comedy, news, etc.) and get a set of pre-made modules. You can also add feed URLs directly, create multiple tabs, etc. All standard stuff, even if Global Grind has slightly edgier design than the others.
A lot of the pre-made content is directly related to Hip Hop, though, such as one that shows the most recent “beefs” or disagreements between rap artists
Whether it will provide an adequate forum of expression for the bustling rap scene, only time will tell.
However, niche blogs are looking like the tools to increase the scope of digital inclusiveness
