Hip-hop business and strategy; Stories that matter

Trapital is a newsletter about hip-hop business. Each week, Dan Runcie writes a story about the strategic moves that shape the industry. When most coverage on hip-hop business scratches the surface, Trapital digs deeper to explain the trends behind hip-hop's growing influence in society.










The business of hip hop has been a narrative of struggle for a while. You hear all these stories about 360 deals etc and then the handful of stories like those of Jay-Z, Diddy, etc who have become elephants in the entertainment and broader business world. Dan goes deep and fleshes out the nuance of the business of hip hop. I've learned a ton reading the newsletter and am so excited about the traction he's getting with it.
