Digital Magazine
An intimate lens into the personalities and narratives influencing the global entertainment landscape.
Real Coverage.
Real People. Real Time.
Hype In The Streets (HITS) is The Hype Magazine's on-the-ground multimedia initiative — built to put media back into the communities where stories, talent, and culture are actually developing.
Rather than relying on press releases and viral moments, HITS deploys a growing network of correspondents, photographers, videographers, and creators across multiple markets to document the people, events, businesses, and cultural movements that deserve to be seen — discovering stories while they are happening.
From "Hip Hop to Hollywood," our correspondents span cities and countries, giving The Hype Magazine a true global footprint and an authentic pulse on culture as it unfolds in real life.
"Somewhere along the way, media became so focused on what was already trending that we started losing some of the people and stories creating the trends in the first place. Hype In The Streets is about getting back outside."
Dr. Jameelah "Just Jay" Wilkerson

Global Correspondent Network
A growing roster of correspondents, photographers, and videographers across cities and countries — reporting culture from where it actually happens.
Real-Time Reporting
Stories are discovered while they are happening, not after they have already gone viral. The story should not have to trend before media decides it is worth telling.
On-the-Ground Coverage
Live performances, red carpets, festivals, community events, entrepreneurs, and cultural movements — captured firsthand by media professionals who are present.
Community-First Discovery
Independent talent, local businesses, and organizations receive meaningful coverage and a pathway from local discovery to national amplification.
