(PRWEB) March 10, 2005 -- What Is RHN? RHN is a 24 Hour a day Hip-Hop Channel. Hip-Hop is a cultural phenomenon, and a multibillion-dollar industry, thats true. But with the increased attention comes a greater responsibility to the youth who Hip Hop influences. RHN is the network that will raise the standard. We will open up dialogue about the disturbing images that has so impacted todays perception, making the artist and the industry accountable to its audience. This we feel will restore the culture as a true American art form and revolutionize the way the world sees Hip-Hop & Broadcasting. The RHN Center is a community-based initiative, which will guarantee the public access to the RHN broadcasting network
