Sensimedia Hip-Hop

Sensimedia Hip-Hop Radio plays rap and hip hop around the clock, with classic anthems, exclusive mixes and weekly shows. The programme looks at the culture from several angles, combining golden-age records and underground favourites with newer releases and DJ sets, so that it appeals to both lifelong fans and those who are discovering the genre. The tone is that of a community station run by people who love the music, and the selection pays attention to the roots as much as to the current charts.

Sensimedia is an independent internet radio operator that has offered web streams for various genres for many years, and its hip hop channel has built a loyal audience of listeners who prefer the personal touch of curators to the formula of large networks. The content is largely in English, with the occasional announcement between songs, and may include explicit lyrics, as is common in the genre. The stream is delivered as MP3 at 192 kbps, a generous bitrate that gives drums and basslines real weight and detail, especially on headphones or speakers with a good low end. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
