HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Brandon Magnus / Getty Drink Champs, the popular podcast and video interview program featuring N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, has become one of the premier hubs of Hip-Hop culture and the discussion of such.

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Frazer Harrison / Getty Yung Miami, one half of the City Girls with her partner JT, is stepping out on her own with the new “Rap Freaks” single that dropped on Friday (October 29).

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Hearts are heavy across the Atlanta metropolitan region and the rest of the nation after news that Emmy Award-winning journalist Jovita Moore has died.

Gamely, Farmer delivered the news out of sheer obligation and perhaps a will of steel as the production team put together a collage of videos featuring Moore at work. Moore, a native of New York City, obtained her undergraduate degree from Bennington College in...
