So, finding hip-hop blogs and just <a href=\"https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/get-your-music-on-hip-hop-blogs\/\">using hip-hop blogs<\/a>, in general, is usually a good strategy. There are times when a hip-hop blog may have deceiving numbers as far as social media followers and likes are concerned. They may \u201clook\u201d like they&#8217;re a good blog to submit your music to, but sometimes they are useless. That\u2019s not for every blog, obviously, but there are blogs like that.<\/p>\n<h2>Method #1 for Finding Hip-Hop Blogs to Submit to:<\/h2>\n<p>What I\u2019ve found to be the best strategy for finding hip-hop blogs involves asking people in your city. So, ask other rappers in your city, DJs (<a href=\"https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/how-to-get-your-music-heard-by-hip-hop-djs\/\">learn how to build a relationship with DJs here<\/a>), and people who are credible in your city because they usually know which blogs are actually putting in work behind the scenes and are getting a good amount of views.<\/p>\n<h2>Method #2 for Finding Hip-Hop Blogs that Accept Submissions:<\/h2>\n<p>Another method you can use, which is less reliable but can uncover a good amount of hip-hop blogs while sitting at your computer is to search Google for hip-hop blogs +\u00a0whatever city you&#8217;re in. So, for me, I would search hip-hop blogs in Cleveland and I might find 2 or 3 blogs that look professional and look like they&#8217;re\u00a0engaging with the community<\/p>\n<h2>Last, but not least<\/h2>\n<p>A method you can use if you&#8217;re an extreme introvert\u00a0is to look at what blogs influencers post on their social media and send to their email list (if you&#8217;re on their email list). They typically only endorse the hip-hop blogs if know the owner or they know the blog is getting traffic or out here hustling.<\/p>\n<p>PS: There&#8217;s a resource online somewhere and I don&#8217;t know who originally posted it because I&#8217;ve seen it on 4 different blogs, but there&#8217;s a huge list of hip-hop blogs that you can check out that accept music submissions as well.<\/p>\n<p>Update (06\/13\/16): The link to the original list of hip-hop blogs is here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.praverb.net\/2012\/04\/45-hip-hop-blogs-that-are-guaranteed-to.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.praverb.net\/2012\/04\/45-hip-hop-blogs-that-are-guaranteed-to.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6982\" src=\"https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ThingsWorthTweeting.png\" alt=\"Things Worth Tweeting\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ThingsWorthTweeting.png 1024w, https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ThingsWorthTweeting-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ThingsWorthTweeting-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ThingsWorthTweeting-750x375.png 750w, https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ThingsWorthTweeting-600x300.png 600w, https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ThingsWorthTweeting-555x278.png 555w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class='tm-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n<div class='tm-click-to-tweet'>\n<div class='tm-ctt-text'><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Google+%22hip-hop+blogs+in+%5Binsert+city%5D%22+to+find+blogs+in+your+city.&#038;via=ArtistShortcut&#038;related=ArtistShortcut&#038;url=https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/find-hip-hop-blogs-accept-submissions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Google &#8220;hip-hop blogs in [insert city]&#8221; to find blogs in your city.<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Google+%22hip-hop+blogs+in+%5Binsert+city%5D%22+to+find+blogs+in+your+city.&#038;via=ArtistShortcut&#038;related=ArtistShortcut&#038;url=https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/find-hip-hop-blogs-accept-submissions\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"tm-ctt-btn\">Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='tm-ctt-tip'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class='tm-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n<div class='tm-click-to-tweet'>\n<div class='tm-ctt-text'><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=A+good+way+to+find+hip-hop+blogs+that+accept+submissions+is+to+ask+other+artists+%26amp%3B+DJs&#038;via=ArtistShortcut&#038;related=ArtistShortcut&#038;url=https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/find-hip-hop-blogs-accept-submissions\/\" target=\"_blank\">A good way to find hip-hop blogs that accept submissions is to ask other artists &amp; DJs<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=A+good+way+to+find+hip-hop+blogs+that+accept+submissions+is+to+ask+other+artists+%26amp%3B+DJs&#038;via=ArtistShortcut&#038;related=ArtistShortcut&#038;url=https:\/\/artistshortcut.com\/find-hip-hop-blogs-accept-submissions\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"tm-ctt-btn\">Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='tm-ctt-tip'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we\u2019re going to talk about how to find hip-hop blogs to submit to.
