Gowhere Hip Hop & Friends

 

Gowhere Hip Hop (GWHH), the #1 Chicago Hip Hop platform, brings visitors the latest in mainstream and underground hip hop and R&B in addition to a concentrated focus on the Chicago hip hop scene. We are dedicated to providing a positive outlet for unveiling underground talent to a mass audience, so we try to remain as an open source of exposure for unheard talent to be heard. Our strategy is to attract a mainstream audience by providing their latest content while selectively focusing on talented, up and coming underground artists who gain more exposure from a broader, previously unfamiliar demographic. In addition to the music, GWHH is an established media platform that provides visitors with a perspective of the Chicago scene through exclusive event coverage and interviews with the biggest names in music, plus talent in art, design, sports, fashion, and more. We aspire to maintain and progress our brand to truly go where hip hop goes. Thank you for your continued support! The site’s unique features include:
