The site was founded back in 1996, and have to day
over four million hits, wich not only makes it swedens
oldest and longest running hip-hop site, but also by
far the most visited.
The purpuse that I had when I founded this site, is
the same today - to bring knowledge to those who seek,
and share the history from within a culture. Even if
you didn't grow up with Fantastic Romantic 5,
DJ Hollywood or even Roxanne Shante and
Big Daddy Kane, could turn to Streetzone
for the information with out beeing ridicule or laghthed
at. The same goes for the Swedish hip-hop history..
Even if you wasn't there, you should get the oportunity
to to hear for yourself, aswell as learn about the history.
In recent years, Streetzone have also turned
into Swedens biggest totally independent recordlabel,
aswell as the founders of The Swedish Hip-Hop Awards.
In the summer of 2003, we took the next step, and started
up a new label where they artists keep their rights
to their own music, aswell as getting a profitshare
of 55%, at the same time we offered a complete album
by upcomming rapper Hummin' for free download,
in in a month time over 45.000 tracks had been downloaded!
