Sounds of HipHop is a media web company, that prides itself in delivering hot and new content daily.  An official source for the latest Hip Hop music and news, they are quickly becoming a premium destination for hip hop music and a promotional powerhouse for established artists and rising stars.

With a mission to develop a collection of hip hops finest music and build one of the largest communities of hip hop aficionados on the web.   I was approached by the team at Sounds of HipHop to help create a streaming platform that would become the premium destination for hip hop music.  As a web producer at LandOnline Media I had the opportunity to experience the development challenges of building a few media streaming services.

From a technical standpoint, the Sounds of HipHop streaming platform required both strong design and also heavy programming.  I had not only to come up with the network's look, but very importantly, its programming interface.  That way, the editors could easily upload or edit the data without complications.  I did this by developing and scripting a whole set of web modules to support the uploading and converting of audio files that would perform well on all platforms.
