About Me

Perhaps because of its inner city base, Hip Hop is often identified erroneously as a forum for gangsters, drugs, misogyny, and other negative images. The Hip Hop Congress strives to combat that stereotype by creating exposure to the positive attributes of Hip Hop.

The Hip Hop Congress uses the culture of Hip Hop to inspire young people to get involved social action, civic service, and cultural creativity. Hip Hop Congress is the product of a merger of artists and students, music and community. It is significant because it provides one of few paths for highly creative and often disenfranchised youth where they can channel their energy into a strong and organized force aimed at improving their community.
