Recording Artist Michael Gilmore Debuts Album & Develops TV HIP HOP APP to Challenge TikTok, YouTube

LOS ANGELES - March 15, 2026 - PRLog -- TV HIP HOP, created by visionary entrepreneur and recording artist Michael Gilmore, who released his critical acclaim Shakespeare-Inspired HIP HOP SONNETS album, is emerging as a groundbreaking digital platform designed to unite seven major entertainment categories—Videos, Music, Movies, Merchandise, Streaming, Sports, News, and Al—under one global media ecosystem. Built for the creator economy, TV HIP HOP positions itself as a cultural, technological, and economic force.

With a $1 Billion pre-valuation, TV HIP HOP will become a new global media and technology platform centered on the world's most influential cultural movement. TV HIP HOP will unify digital streaming, creator monetization, television broadcasting, national competitions, cultural publishing, etc., under one powerful brand. As Hip Hop continues to dominate music, fashion, sports, business, and global youth culture, TV HIP HOP is uniquely positioned to become the central hub for creativity and culture.

Creators, artists, athletes, filmmakers, influencers and everyone can sign up **free of charge** to view, explore, and enjoy all videos, music, movies and platform content. The **$49 yearly platform fee** (about **$4.08 per month") applies **only when a user uploads** videos, music, films, or any creative work. Once activated, creators can upload unlimited content and access one of the most generous revenue-sharing models in the industry: creators keep "60%** while TV HIP HOP retains **40%**.

By comparison:

• YouTube pays creators 55% and keeps 45%
• TikTok pays pennies per thousand views
• Spotify pays less than $0.01 per stream
• Apple/Amazon Music earnings remain minimal for independent artists

At its core, TV HIP HOP will include a global app and website where creators can upload unlimited content while earning substantial revenue. The company also announced it will also expand into a 24-hour cable television network, host an annual TV HIP HOP Awards Show, and launch TV HIP HOP Magazine.

"Our company platforms allow creators, entertainers, entrepreneurs, and fans to thrive in one unified ecosystem," said Michael Gilmore, Founder & CEO. "Hip Hop deserves a home that honors its global impact and creates economic opportunities for millions. Hip Hop influences everything--but owns nothing. We're changing that."

With Hip Hop as the world's #1 cultural engine and a $400B+ entertainment industry, TV HIP HOP follows the path of pre-revenue billion-dollar startups such as Clubhouse, Discord, and Instagram—positioning itself as a future American unicorn rooted in culture.
