Just to see how huge we are getting take a look at our stats for May 2004:

PAGES SERVED 715,722,00
HITS 3,092,754,00
BANDWIDTH 20.2 GB

A total redesign is taking place in the backrooms of the AG headquarters which will push AG into the future. 

With our new technology and new partnerships we will be able to update the site on a minute by minute basis giving you the latest hip hop news (from around the world) - using very little manpower. However African artists and select international artists/stories will dominate the front page. Our content will be re-categorized by both Country and Topic making it easier to find what you are looking for.

The design of the site will also change.  We have taken your suggestions regarding our lack of colour co-ordination very seriously :-)

There are other surprises on the horizon - but time will reveal.

What does this all mean? It means we are gunning for the top 10 international spot. We want to be one of the top 10 hip hop portals in the world. In the same breathe we want to bring African hip hop into that - to bring awareness and to strengthen the hip hop scene on the continent.

We'd also like to get to a stage where we can have a proper office and formally employ staff.  

Can we do it? We will. How long will it take.  We don't care.  Just like before, we won't sleep. We will continue to push ourselves into the ground so that you can be elevated.

The best is yet to come. 

Long live AG.
