Sites We Rock With
A hand-picked list — we only list sites we actually read. West Coast first, then the wider hip-hop press.
The West Coast News Network. Running since 2001 — the definitive hub for West Coast rap news, interviews, audio and video.
LA-rooted music criticism with deep West Coast and underground coverage. Long-form, opinionated, essential.
History-minded hip-hop journalism — the making-of stories, the deep interviews, the context behind the classics.
One of the longest-running hip-hop news outlets. Daily news, reviews and features across every region.
The blog-era institution. New music, premieres and a taste level that helped break plenty of West Coast acts.
News, rumors, interviews and culture — a mainstay of hip-hop media for over two decades.
"The Bible of Hip-Hop." The magazine that documented the golden era, now online.
Freshman lists, cover stories and daily news. A major stop for new-artist coverage.
Verified lyrics and annotations. The reference for what every West Coast bar actually means.
The crate-digger's database. Pressings, credits, labels and release histories for the whole catalog.
Trade Links With Us
Run a West Coast or hip-hop site?
We'll add a link to any active, on-topic site — West Coast rap, hip-hop history, music blogs, artist and label pages, record stores, radio shows, podcasts. No auto-generated link farms, no unrelated niches. Here's how:
- Add a link back to https://westonmyback.com/ somewhere crawlable on your site (a links/partners page or footer is fine).
- Email us the URL where our link lives, plus your site name, URL and a one-line description.
- Once we confirm it's live, we add you here. Links stay up as long as the reciprocal link does and the site stays active.
