1.Just one very good website (not blog) that can host news, videos, audio, profiles and other information on all Hip Hop artists – New and Old.

2.An Association – we did it before and it never worked out! The New wave is much more active and united – go for it.3.

An awards show (with incentives) – this has been pending for years – how do artists keep doing what they do if they have no award to look forward to? It will bring healthy competition and better quality across the board

.4.We don’t share each others music enough – some people do, most don’t. We have camps which is okay, people that get along and that is fine. Once in a while look outside of your immediate circle and check what others are doing – if you like it share or discuss. I am also addressing myself here 😊 – We need more conversations and reactions to what others are doing. Youtube, facebook, insta, tiktok etc

5. Lastly collaboration with other industries such as film and sports. We need more compilations (soundtracks) that can be made for film that will expose more artists. This is beneficial for everyone because a movie for example that has alot of young people attached to it through music is easy to market and is sure to get alot of ears and eyes on it. Same for Sports – make theme songs for teams, perform at sports events and collaborate with athletes – not only soccer and basketball but there is alot that can be done here.
