Scope Of Work
Hot 97, previously Where Hip Hop Lives, is a combination two hip hop radio stations, Power106 in Los Angeles and Hot97 in New York. They deliver the best hip hop news, interviews, and performances from the biggest names in the rap game. It’s the only place you can hear New at 2, a brand new 24/7 streaming station.
The Challenge
Hot 97 needed a way to bring two iconic radio stations together to cater to a growing hip hop audience. They wanted more than just a streaming app – their goal was to create a mobile app for the hip hop listener’s lifestyle.
The Solution
The Hot 97 mobile app allows listeners to hear raw and uncensored tracks from their favorite rappers and lets them discover “Who’s Next.” Exclusive new tracks and commentary from personalities like DJ Funk Flex are available on-demand. It lets users watch exclusive performances and interviews, and also check out the latest hip hop news, video game reviews, and new music releases.
