Dan Runcie’s Trapital Media gives the business of hip-hop the rigorous coverage and in-depth analysis that it deserves. This week, Dan gives host Dmitri Vietze a picture of the state of hip-hop as a culture, a musical genre, and an influential business ethos— and how it’s evolving faster than ever.
Find out why emerging hip-hop artists are so focused on creating their own lane and owning their careers, whether they sign to a label or choose the DIY path. Dan shares Trapital highlights, from an early essay on J. Cole’s superfan strategy to podcast interviews with the people behind the business. Get Dan’s viewpoint on the major music tech trends, like the rise of NFTs and the major label acquisitions that are shaking up the landscape.
