Original Content Word Up: Joint Projects In Hip-Hop Becoming A Trend <p>A recent trend that has surfaced in hip-hop is to do collaborative projects with another artist.

And now there have been rumours of a lot of other joint efforts coming up (and some have already dropped). By Rose Lilah February 23, 2012
