Taylor McCloud

Taylor McCloud is a writer and creator from Western Massachusetts. Covering sports, music and entertainment, Taylor has experienced each corner of the modern media landscape. Appearing in Jerk Magazine, HotNewHipHop and Newsweek, Taylor is focused on championing musicians across multiple digital platforms. From the days of Datpiff mixtapes until today, Taylor’s taste in hip-hop has remained the same, with Future, Action Bronson, Mac Miller and Earl Sweatshirt all spinning in daily rotation. (Taylor has also been known to, on occasion, play a little Drake — allegedly.) A firm believer that June 18, 2013 was the best day in hip-hop history, Taylor might be stuck in the blog era, but is always looking forward to the next movement that transforms music’s greatest genre.
