The Journal of Hip-Hop will accept short essays, poems, grafiti, photo-essays, and editorials. We invite scholars of all levels: whether academically trained or self educated. Journal articles are carefully edited (in addition to a review process) to ensure readability. In addition to recurring sections including classic album reviews, profiles of Hip-hop activism, lyrical analysis, and classroom supplements for educators.

In each issue we will typically publish 7-10 articles of various levels of scholarship. The Journal is published 3 times yearly ( January, May, September) and available in print and electronic form.

Submission guidelines : current submissions may be considered for later JoHH issues :

• Articles must reach a logical conclusion and primarily deal with Hip-Hop culture.
• Articles should not analyze Hip-Hop from the outside in (i.e. too violent, too commercial) but rather critique, deconstruct, advance and contribute to Hip-Hop culture.
• Before submitting, please consult the JoHH reference pages online which contain information packets to assist in your research.

REVIEW PROCESS
JoHH conducts a strict review process. All submissions to the Journal of Hip-Hop are internally reviewed and given an initial critique by two JoHH reviewers. Articles meeting minimum requirements will undergo a second review process, involving the author, managing editor and a designate from the journal review board. Final acceptance occurs once the second review process is complete.
