Internet radio offers a bright world of opportunity for independent artists. Terrestrial radio is not the only cool kid on the block anymore. Since its inception in the early 90s, online radio has made significant contributions to the landscape of broadcast radio.  For independent singer/songwriters, musicians, and artists, online radio has become an ally for exposure in many ways.

One major change online radio has contributed to broadcasting is that location is unrestricted except for self-imposed restrictions created by DJs. The internet can reach places all over the world which means anyone can listen from anywhere. So an artist in Florida can submit his music to an online radio station in Kansas and people all over the world can potentially listen. What’s more, online radio stations are often run by average people simply for the love of music so you’ll have a much easier time pitching your music to them.

So get your radio submission ONE SHEET ready, because below we’ve listed 10 rap and hip-hop radio stations that are currently accepting music submissions from rap and hip-hop artists.
