What Qualifies as a Brand Feature
AllHipHop publishes brand content in two lanes. Music coverage requires an active release, tour, video, or label news. Everything else, from CBD and fintech to fashion and apps, runs as a general feature. You do not need a music angle to be published, but stories that connect to culture perform better with readers.
How to Write a Post That Reads Editorial
Your placement is not labeled sponsored, so it should not read like an ad. The features that work follow a simple structure:
- Lead with a story, not a product. "How a Black-owned vape brand went from hookah lounges to headlines" beats "Brand X launches new product line."
- One idea per article. A launch, a founder story, a trend you have data on. Do not cram your whole company history in.
- Place links where they help the reader. You get up to 3 do-follow links in up to 1,500 words. Link your homepage or product page from natural anchor text, not from "click here."
- Write for the audience. AllHipHop readers are culture-first. Features that acknowledge that get read to the end.
Common Reasons Submissions Get Sent Back
- Reads like a press release with no story angle.
- More than 3 outbound links, or links to prohibited content.
- Music submission with no active release attached.
- Thin content padded to hit a word count.
The Timeline
Submit through the order form, pay by PayPal, and the article publishes within 24 to 48 hours. The placement is permanent: it stays live, indexed, and linkable for as long as the site exists, which has been since 1997.
