THE FVTV APP HAS A DATE: PUBLIC BETA TARGETED FOR SEPTEMBER 28

The first public beta is built to put regional rankings, artist discovery and FVTV’s original reporting under one roof.

FVTV is building a rap database you can dig through by city, by who’s moving right now and by stories that go deeper than whatever the timeline is serving today.

The public beta is targeted for September 28, 2026. That’s a beta target, so don’t expect the final app-store version on day one. Access details will drop through FVTV’s public channels as launch gets closer.

What the beta is built to tie together

The pieces already live on the site and inside the FVTV editorial machine: the regional Top Ten lists, the artist profiles, the original interviews and a city-by-city discovery map. The beta is designed to pull all of it into one faster product made for rap discovery.

A beta only gets good when the people using it talk back. Artists, readers and anybody plugged into a regional scene can follow the rollout now, then put the rankings, the archive and the fresh reporting to the test once access opens.
