Riley Wallace is a Toronto-based hip-hop journalist and music critic whose work has appeared in HipHopDX, Exclaim!, XXL Magazine and Above Average Hip Hop.
I bring stories, ideas and products to life through writing, design and editorial strategy. My work spans music and culture, business and technology, with more than 15 years of experience creating content and building things people can use.
This archive collects selected writing published between 2014 and 2025, preserving interviews, reviews, editorials, and longform journalism spanning more than a decade of hip-hop coverage.
Following the removal of HipHopDX's historical online archive — which resulted in the deletion of a significant volume of culturally important music journalism — this collection also serves as a preservation effort, safeguarding work from the site that would otherwise be lost.
