OnThisDateInHipHop, also known as OTDIHH, is a privately-owned hip hop news and media website, launched in March 2015. Initially serving as an almanac for Hip-Hop related events, On This Date In Hip-Hop extended its services to deliver news on current happenings in the Hip-Hop industry, establishing the brand as a Hip-Hop blog as well. With Instagram being its main method of information delivery, OTDIHH has gained the following of many notable Hip-Hop figures, outlets and media personalities such as DJ Premier, Havoc, E-40, Warren G, DJ Pooh, Easy Mo Bee, Grandmaster Flash, Joyner Lucas, Rich Paul, King T, CeeLo Green, Elliott Wilson, The Source, Tyrese Gibson, and more.

History

On This Date In Hip-Hop was created by writer Bleep tha No Name Bastard in an effort to rebrand a media company that was "blacklisted" on the Los Angeles Hip-Hop scene. Bleep's initial reason for creating a media company was to build a lane (audience) that he could present his music to. On March 19, 2015, On This Date In Hip-Hop logos and biography were uploaded to Instagram. OTDIHH's 1st post would be March 20th, 2015 with a birthday post to producer Manny Fresh.

Using music industry connections from his previous media company, Bleep was able to secure EXCLUSIVE content from Bone Thugs N Harmony on the 20th anniversary of Eazy-E's death, helping the page grow 700 followers in 12 days.

While On This Date In Hip-Hop initially set out to be an almanac of past events (birthdates, death dates, album and event anniversaries) in Hip-Hop, the site switched its format to also cover present and upcoming events when Immortal Technique was arrested on suspicion of robbery on March 28, 2015, reclassifying itself as a Hip-Hop blog.
