Daily Download is back!

Posted on July 25, 2009 by Josh

After a hiatus (about 3 years?) it’s back. Song of the Day is now Daily Download. I wanted to get this going ahead of our website refresh (coming soon) to work out all the kinks. My goal is to mix it up and keep it interesting. Some classics and loads of new exclusives. Stuff you’ll want to check out regularly and also tell your friends about.

Currently you can check the spot for updates, hit up the RSS feed and soon get the updates via iTunes. It’s free and fresh.

Check out the track for today…

Check it out at Sphere of Hip-Hop daily download.

Sphere of Hip-Hop rocked SonShine 2009

Posted on July 24, 2009 by Josh

We had a grip of fun at the music festival and met thousands of people. In addition to having one of the busiest booths in the spot, we were able to give away a ton of CDs and educate many about faith based hip-hop. We even had regular giveaways for anyone who would show us their best freestyle or beatbox. People as young as 10 and as old as 45 participated. Awesome stuff. Oh and we had a robot that dominated our dance competitions.

Check our Facebook page for a few dozen photos from SonShine 2009. See you next year!

Facebook ettiquette

Posted on July 1, 2009 by Josh

So I am on Facebook and get a GRIP of requests to join this or that. Because I cannot (and in some cases don’t want to) keep up with it all, I politely decline loads of invites.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been getting requests to “Become a Fan” of artists who I barely know and who certainly don’t submit junk to the website for coverage.

Weird ain’t it?
