Global Grind Review

Globalgrind.com is a website created by Russell Simmons who is been a part of the music and entertainment industry for decades.  He has created this website to keep people involved and informed about hip-hop culture and anything related.  The website targets users from ages 18-49.  Music, Fashion, Media, and diversity are starting points for many of the articles posted on this site. On this site you can stay up to date with current entertainment news.  Blogs are also popular on this site if the are industry related.  Entertainment, Music, Style, and News are the four sections you can find this site boasting.

     The design and layout of the website are very effective for this type of website.  The vertical flow of the website encourages visitors to read through content.  There are some advertising on this site which is typical of many sites but its not overwhelming and there are no pop-ups.  Global grind has its privacy policy nicely situated at the bottom of the website if any visitors would like to examine it.   In the lower right hand corner of the website there is a section where global grind highlights the hottest 8 mixed tapes.  For up and coming artists this is an excellent way to get heard.  Links to connect directly to GG’s Twitter and Facebook pages are also visible on the site for easy access to liking or following the pages.

   One particular area that draws my attention is the section that advertises the affiliates of the website.  Any website, business, or organization that is affiliated is listed by a link at the bottom of the website for easy access and surfing.  Global grind has some of the latest news headlines available on the site and a convenient link to share this information with friends at any given time. The site has many sponsors such as Toyota who advertise on the website. This multi-cultural website is very welcoming to the hip-hop culture and anyone who loves it.
