Support Hip Hop gives independent artists the opportunity to get their music heard by new listeners through our curated Spotify playlists. These playlists are updated regularly and feature a mix of emerging talent and standout tracks from artists making noise in the culture. Getting on one of our playlists can help your music reach more people, grow your monthly listeners, and build momentum on one of the biggest streaming platforms in the world.
When you submit your track, you are putting it in front of a team that actually listens. We do not run submissions through a bot. We give each track a fair shot, so if your song fits the vibe and quality of our playlists, you could see it added within days.
Our Spotify playlists are built for hip hop fans, by hip hop fans. We keep them fresh with new songs every week, so followers always have something new to discover. These playlists are promoted across our social channels and featured in our blog, giving artists even more reach beyond Spotify.
We focus on a range of hip hop styles. You might find lyrical boom bap right next to melodic trap, or an underground street anthem next to a soulful R&B-infused rap record. The common thread is quality and authenticity. If your music connects with real hip hop listeners, it has a place here.
Submitting is quick and simple.
We recommend submitting a Spotify link directly to the track you want considered. Do not send private links or demos — make sure your song is live and ready for playlist placement. After you submit, our team will review your track and let you know if it is added.
We accept all kinds of hip hop, from gritty street rap to smooth and melodic vibes. Your song can be a high-energy banger or a deep storytelling track.
Spotify playlist placements are just one way to get your music heard with Support Hip Hop. On our main music submission page, you will also find opportunities to be featured on our Instagram Live show, get free shoutouts on social media, and be considered for blog features.
Many artists use multiple submission options to maximize exposure. For example, you can submit a track for our IG Live and also send it in for playlist consideration. If we like your music, you might end up with both placements — and more people hearing your work.
If you are ready to grow your audience, start with our Spotify playlist submission form today. Get your music in front of hip hop listeners who are looking for their next favorite track.
