Major Hip-Hop Icons Embrace New Movement; New Social Media Platform StreetCred.com Empowers Hip-Hop Culture
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 19, 2007 -- StreetCred.com, a new 'Movement' within hip-hop, was announced today with the support of several hip-hop icons, including T.I., Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Common, and T-Pain. StreetCred.com is a hip-hop centric, online interactive social media network that aggregates the hip-hop culture onto a single global platform. At www.StreetCred.com, members can establish their own 'Block', reside on a virtual 'Street', build their 'Squad of friends', build and sustain 'Cred' and express themselves in the form of audio, video, images and blogs. The platform consists of social networking, content publishing and sharing, and digital content distribution, all for the hip-hop culture.
Celebrity spokesperson T.I. affirms, "I am honored and privileged to be a part of such a significant movement. StreetCred.com is history in the making; it's a movement that will make contributions to hip-hop that will be remembered forever." StreetCred.com allows members to express themselves in ways that are only limited by their creativity, imagination and willingness to make a difference. Members can participate in chat, forums, theme clubs, and more. Additionally, members are rewarded when they express themselves through the site with its patent pending StreetMeter? feature. The StreetMeter gauges a member's 'Cred' ranking based on three key factors: a member's popularity, activity and contribution within the StreetCred.com community. Members attaining the highest levels of 'Cred' are eligible to participate in special StreetCred.com events and promotions.
Since its soft launch in mid-July 2007, StreetCred.com has received significant traction; logging more than 2.5 million page views with traffic originating from more than 100 countries around the world. Registration is free and open to all, allowing everyone the opportunity to participate. The platform enables the hip-hop culture, perhaps the most powerful culture in the world, to coalesce, better communicate and engage. "StreetCred.com aggregates hip-hop in a virtual, seamless and scalable way, truly empowering the culture, creating a participatory democracy that gives everyone an interest, voice, and opportunity in shaping the future of hip-hop," says Rocky Williform, Founder and CEO of StreetCred Media Group. "The StreetCred 'Movement' transcends age, gender, geography, socio-economic status and ethnicity," added Williform.
In addition to many hip-hop notables, other industry powerhouses have also embraced the 'Movement'. The company has inked content deals with music distribution companies (WMG) Warner Music Group and Sony/BMG and is currently in discussions with Universal Music Group, BET, and others. These are just a few of the many ways the company is executing on its commitment of establishing an all-inclusive hip-hop platform.

Can Catholic Values Survive in Hollywood? Two Biggest Obstacles – The Film Industry Culture & Friendly Fire

Catholics@Work's November 2006 breakfast meeting will feature Father Wilfred (Willy) Raymond, Director of Family Theater Productions who serves as a priest in the "Hollywood world", and is committed to provide support for all Catholics, young and old, who deal with the realities of the film industry.
