Looking for new hip hop music? Whether it’s underground rap, R&B, southern hip-hop, or gangster rap, here are some of the best places to find new hip hop music.
Radio stations
While they may have lost some of their clout in recent years due to the internet, radio stations still provide a great place to listen to music. I’ve included a standard radio station just like some of its internet counterparts…
Power106. Possibly the biggest name in rap music today, Power 106 plays with established artists like Eminem and Lil Wayne, as well as emerging rap superstars like Drake and Flo Rida.
Hot97 One of the most popular hip hop stations ever, Hot97 offers new tracks from artists like TI, Outkast and Kanye West.
Power 105. They made the switch from soft rock and never looked back. As well as fresh new music, they play old school hip and R&B.
IMEEM. This website allows you to create your own playlist from its huge music database. You can save your playlists and share them with others through the social network on your site. The new hip hop music section is up to the task, offering a selection of new artists daily.
Pandora. I personally love this site. All you have to do is enter the name of your favorite artist, song, or style of music, and Pandora automatically creates a playlist for you based on partner artists they think you’d like. I can’t even begin to explain how great the rap artists I’ve discovered using the site are. Pandora also gives you the chance to vote for each song as it plays, and will change your playlist accordingly. If you’re looking to find the hottest new music, as well as underground tracks you might have missed the first time around, Pandora is definitely a place to start.
mixed tapes
Mixtapes have always been an important part of hip-hop culture, and the following two websites let you hear your favorite songs brought together in new and exciting ways…

That crack. The up-and-coming provider of online mix tapes. They offer streaming video, free styles and audio media, you don’t have to wait to download the tracks.
