Founded in 2004, HipHopRepublican.com is a political/music blog based in New York City. It is led by a group of young moderate Republican and Libertarian bloggers (and independent conservatives) of all racial, economic, and social backgrounds , all of whom possess diverse viewpoints and hail from urban regions across the United States. The blog was born of a frustration with blind party loyalty, over 40 years of mismanaged urban polices, and a Republican Party that seems to have forgotten about urban America. Our hope is that the Republican Party will create and launch an urban agenda that empowers people, not governmental institutions.  We also believe that effective outreach—not to be confused with pandering— is the only way to grow our Party in communities where we are currently under-represented. It is a valid, necessary, and smart business model for reaching our broader goals of winning elections and remaining politically relevant.

“At the center of this GOP avant-garde movement are the Hip-Hop Republicans, a group of young, black men and women who believe that the Republican Party must seriously confront issues of race, must turn its attention back to the United States’ urban centers, and should use traditional Republican solutions to solve the ills of our cities”
