Editorial principles

Riffiter's news feed is curated, not scraped. Every item passes a simple test: is this about the music?

What we publish

  • New releases, reissues, and meaningful genre pivots
  • Diss tracks — actual musical output, not the tweets before it
  • Tours and major awards
  • Notable collaborations and industry news that matters
  • Deaths, covered with respect

What we don't publish

  • Romantic relationships — who's dating whom is not music news
  • Social media fights with no musical output
  • Personal scandal unrelated to the work
  • Lifestyle and influencer content
  • Speculation and unverified rumors — we wait for confirmation

How it works

Stories come from a fixed list of quality publications. Each one is summarized in three sentences, linked back to the original — credit and traffic go to the source — and reviewed by a human before it appears here. When a beef starts brewing, we wait for the actual diss track.
