About Us

Hood Grown’s purpose is to cover urban music in a street oriented, yet intelligent manner with content driven by artist, music, and African American and Latino culture as it pertains to the art form.

We publish a web magazine as well as a print magazine which will resume publication in March 2008. The magazine is 36 pages, features full colours covers on 80lb glossy paper, with full color insides on 70lb glossy paper, and is published quarterly.

One of the unique aspects of Hood Grown magazine is that it fosters the discovery of new music and artist whether they’re on a major or independent music label. Hood Grown is one of the few magazines where you’ll see major artists featured along side independent artists with no separation based on the celebratory status of their record label. The magazine’s specialty is featuring unknown upcoming labels, artists, & producers exposing them to an audience that might have little knowledge of them.
