    Rebranding is a common marketing strategy in which an established brand creates a new, differentiated identity in the minds of consumers, investors, and competitors.

  • 015: Hip-Hop & Award Shows
    Hip-Hop has a long, tumultuous relationship with award shows. Hip-Hop and the GRAMMYS is most storied (and also, most tragic). We explore that history, dissecting early and recent snubs, and discuss reasons for Hip-Hop’s exclusion from the general awards. Should Hip-Hop receive more recognition in award shows? Has the GRAMMYs done enough for rappers?
    Also, a recap of Hard Knock Life & Fade NYC’s NYE Party!
