Hip-hop news, with receipts

Every story links to its sources. We look for the original source first, such as the artist, the label, the chart or an official post, and back it up with at least one independent outlet. Anything that only exists on social media is labelled Developing until it’s confirmed.

We never invent facts, quotes or numbers. Allegations are never reported as fact. Short quotes are always credited to the outlet that published them.

How we sound

Like a mate who knows the scene: warm, quick and sometimes funny, but never mean. We write in British English and use UK time. Every story ends with a one-line ‘why this matters’.

Images

We only use photos we’re allowed to use: free-licensed images from Wikimedia Commons (CC BY, CC BY-SA or CC0), official handouts or official embeds. Every photo carries a credit, and each article lists full credits with licence links. Where no licensed photo of the person exists, we use a clearly labelled related image instead. A full list is in our image credits file.

Advertising

NØXIA is a partner advertiser. Its slots are always labelled ‘Advertisement’ and never affect what we cover.

Tips, corrections and partnerships: get in touch.
