Rap Coalition, a not-for-profit organization, keeps artists from being unfairly exploited. In 1992 Wendy dumped her life savings (selling her condo, her stocks and bonds, and her BMW) to form this “watch dog” group out of disgust for the way urban artists are unfairly exploited in the music industry. Its mission is “to bring together different artists who have similar needs and situations, enabling them to help each other”, “to establish forums where rap artists can have dialog and exchange ideas and information with each other”, and “to access leagl help for artists.”

Rapcoalition.org features many comprehensive and very helpful essays, written by founder Wendy Day, which every artist persueing a career in the Hip Hop industry should read, such as: How To Get A Record Deal, Choose A Manager, Artists Must Own Websites, and Raponomics as well as message boards, articles and free listings from Radio to DJ’s to Attorneys.
