Changes at ProHipHop, New Albums Report Discontinued

Lots of changes at ProHipHop unfolding over the next few weeks, including the likely official launch of Ski Mask Way and maybe even the appearance of the long rumored Def Business: The Unofficial Russell Simmmons Blog.

Though I'm excited about many of the developments here at ProHipHop, including a related project to be officially announced early this week, I'm also disappointed to be ending the weekly update of new hip hop albums.

What this means is that I will discontinue Weekly Hip Hop Albums and the related weekly listing of new albums at ProHipHop and Hip Hop Logic.  I will now be selectively updating Hip Hop Albums @ netweed which is where all this started.

Unfortunately, the demands of producing the weekly update just aren't being balanced by sufficient returns and I'd really prefer to be putting my time into such things as closer looks at the marketing of specific albums.

I'll admit that I'm surprised that Weekly Hip Hop Albums didn't take off like I expected.  To be honest, I think it's the coolest single thing I do did.  I would like to give it another shot in the future with a focused marketing campaign including advertising but that's just not possible at present.

More soon.
