StreetCred was founded in 2007 by serial entrepreneur Rocky D. Williform, who felt a beneficial need to create a platform that would allow the 50 million people within the Hip-Hop culture to coalesce, communicate and engage on a global scale.
The company began development, leading to private beta, and was subsequently introduced to the world, by rapper and actor T.I., on BET. The network was officially launched in September 2007 and has since been embraced by numerous Hip-Hop icons, including the likes of Diddy, Snoop, Nelly, Lupe Fiasco, T-Pain, T.I. and Lil Kim, to name a few.
