Make something with SHHC

SHHC is developing interviews, weekly features, short-form video, audio and scene-led formats around Scottish hip-hop. Some can be made internally. Others will be better with people who already create, present, film, write, photograph or talk about music in Scotland.

Examples

What could that actually mean?

This is not a list of fixed jobs. It is a set of real examples of the kinds of content and collaborations SHHC wants to explore.

SHHC Weekly

Present or help make a weekly segment

Talk naturally about Scottish music, help shape a round-up, research a story, edit a segment or contribute a recurring part of the weekly format.

Artist conversations

Interview an artist

A proper conversation, a focused feature or a shorter interview built around the artist rather than a generic questionnaire.

Short-form

Make a 60-second social Q&A

Fast, repeatable formats for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts that bring out personality without needing a full studio interview.

Creator crossover

Bring your own format or audience

If you already make Scottish music content, a crossover or guest feature may make more sense than asking you to become an 'SHHC presenter'.

Behind the music

Build a producer feature

Beat breakdowns, studio conversations, production stories or other ways of giving the people behind the records more space.

Live

Cover an event or session

Film, photograph, interview or create a useful piece around a specific event, performance or live SHHC project.

Your idea

Pitch a format we have not thought of

If the idea fits Scottish hip-hop and makes sense for SHHC, you do not need to wait for us to invent a category for it.

Who we'd like to hear from

You do not need an SHHC job title

Existing creators can stay themselves. Someone with a good interview style, social format or specialist skill may be more useful as a collaborator than as a permanent member of an SHHC team.

What mattersA clear idea beats a polished application.

Tell us what you would actually like to make, why it suits SHHC and what part you could contribute. Previous work is useful if you have it, but you do not need a formal media CV just to start a conversation.

How collaborations work

Agree the project before the work starts

There are no fixed roles attached to this page. If an idea develops into actual work, SHHC and the contributor should agree what is being made, the scope, deadlines, credit, rights and any payment before work begins.

One fixed boundary: contributing to SHHC content does not give anyone influence over chart eligibility, scoring, methodology or rankings.
