Philly Word: the final say in Philly hip-hop.

Like the phoenix, Iladelph hip-hop has risen from the tattered remnants of Philadelphia's musical past. Stars like Eve, Beanie Siegel, Bahamadia and the Grammy (finally!) award winning Roots have established their hometown as a rap powerhouse, dismantling the notion of Philadelphia as the unwanted stepchild of east coast hip-hop. Philly's own Phillyword.com chronicles local hip-hop music and culture. The site features profiles on local talent, music reviews, upcoming events and a general overview of all things hip-hop. All of the articles have links on the first page, making the site extremely navigable. Are you CREAM centered? You'll find the Getting Paid section especially helpful. Technophiles, check out Tomorrowland, the place where rap and technology meet. If you have love for hip-hop, Philly or some combination of both, Phillyword.com is a must see.
