Sponsorship & Brand Partnerships
Put Your Brand In The Movement.
Hoodz Radio delivers a hip-hop and R&B audience that shows up for the culture every day — not just for a song. Advertise where the loyalty already lives.
This isn't a passive audience. Hoodz Radio listeners tune in on purpose, for the culture — and your brand gets to be part of that ritual, not an interruption to it.
01
Drive-Time Audience
The Daily Traffic Mix owns the 5–7PM ET commute — the highest-attention listening window of the day, weekday after weekday. Radio still reaches the vast majority of U.S. adults every month, according to Nielsen's 2026 audio listening data — that's the built-in reach a new brand partner steps into on day one.
02
Built-In Trust
Since 2008, Hoodz Radio has earned listener loyalty the old-school way — real hip-hop and R&B, no filler. Your brand borrows that trust the moment it goes on air, and that kind of credibility isn't something an algorithm can manufacture overnight.
03
Segment Integration
Attach your brand to a signature moment like Legacy Cut or Next Gen Spotlight and become part of the show itself, not just a break in it. Listeners can tell the difference between an ad read and a real integration.
04
Digital + On-Air
Pair on-air reads with placement across Hoodz Radio's site and social channels for a bundled, multi-touch campaign that puts your brand in front of the same audience more than once.
The Process
How A Partnership Comes Together
Getting your brand on the air doesn't require a long runway. Most partners move from first conversation to launch in a matter of weeks.
01
Inquire
Fill out the form below with your goals and budget range. We'll follow up with the current rate card and a package recommendation within two business days.
02
Customize
We build a package around what you're actually trying to accomplish — awareness, a launch, foot traffic — instead of handing you a one-size-fits-all rate.
03
Launch
Once the agreement is signed, most campaigns go live within one to two weeks, with performance check-ins along the way.

Our Sound
Hoodz Radio is a home for those who crave authenticity, lyricism, and community — a station that honors where hip-hop came from while making room for where it's headed. Brand partners get to stand next to that, not on top of it.
— The Voice of the People
Hip-hop's story didn't start with a jingle, and Hoodz Radio doesn't treat it like one. If you want to go deeper on where this culture actually began, the Universal Hip Hop Museum in the Bronx is chronicling that history in one place — the same respect for the roots that shapes everything Hoodz Radio puts on air.
Common Questions
Before You Reach Out
How fast can a campaign launch?

Can we test before committing long-term?
Yes. Short-run flights are available for brands that want to gauge fit and response before locking into a longer package.
