Hip Hop was created to be a culture of pride in its ability to have fun while
simultaneously empowering, educating, informing & uplifting to the community
and ALL who embraced it.

''Hip Hop is a vibrant community of leaders and artists dedicated to achieving excellence, embracing change, fostering positive living, encouraging growth, and challenging norms. It celebrates life, creativity, unity, and uniqueness, all united by the common goal of instigating ARTISTIC GENIUS and having FUN in individuals, communities, and society at large. This definition is rooted in the vision set by the black Americans who created it and the communities that showcased their unique artistic genius within it.''
