Hood Grown Magazine preparing to release, "The Indie Hip Hop Toolkit".

The Indie Hip Hop Toolkit is based loosely on the popular Musicians Guide To
Touring and Promotion series but will feature a strictly hip hop slant.
The Indie Hip Hop Toolkit will contain lists of clubs, retail stores, radio
stations, producers, managers, and labels that deal with independent hip hop.
It will also contain contracts for production, management, etc that budding
entrepreneurs can utilize.

"I love the Musicians Guide To Touring and Promotion but I always wished it had more of a hip hop focus." said Christopher English, CEO and Publisher of Hood Grown Magazine. "Like Hood Grown Magazine itself, I felt that publishing this guide would be another way I could help those trying to come up".
