EMERGING IN 1970S NEW YORK AS A VOICE FOR BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITIES, HIP-HOP HAS EVOLVED INTO A GLOBAL MOVEMENT AND CULTURE. WHILE IT ENCOMPASSES DIVERSE MUSICAL STYLES, AT ITS CORE, HIP-HOP REMAINS A PLATFORM FOR SELF-EXPRESSION AND SOCIAL DIALOGUE. WITH TWO DECADES OF ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT IN CANADA’S HIP-HOP SCENE AS PERFORMERS AND CONTRIBUTORS, WE SHARE WITH YOUNG INDIVIDUALS THE POSITIVE AND EMPOWERING ETHOS OF HIP-HOP CULTURE: PROMOTING “PEACE, LOVE, AND UNITY”, ADVOCATING FOR SOCIAL EQUALITY AND JUSTICE, AND CELEBRATING THE RICHNESS OF ALL RACES, CULTURES, AND RELIGIONS.
