What is the Boston Hip-Hop Alliance?
The Boston Hip-Hop Alliance (BHHA) serves as an additional resource and conduit for those who are involved with the growing Hip-Hop Scene in Boston. Since its October, 2004 inception, we've built many valuable relationships in support of other organizations, and have started to develop our own programs as well. Education, artist services, artist development, and community support stand as our main focus points for 2005-2006.
The goal of the BHHA is not financial, though we hope that networking and collaborations will allow all of us to prosper of course! We work toward the improvement of the experience of Boston-based Hip-Hop professionals, both in Boston and in the entertainment industry as a whole.
We seek not only to befriend established organizations, but to also contribute to this community. We plan to consistently find and nurture opportunities that bridge gaps and facilitate working relationships among entities whenever possible. We hope is to partner with various organizations, offering support in whatever way feasible, and also to design our own programming as well.
We seek to serve as an education source about the Music Industry, and to assist in the professional and artistic development of our members whenever feasible. We seek to provide an additional exchange for people to find resources that support their own project goals.
The BHHA's model is a concourse, where people can easily locate many independently-operating businesses, talent, and services from a vast array of professional pursuits. We want to FUEL the efforts of other organizations, not disrupt or compete. We are a collective with a common goal improve the experience of Boston's Hip-Hop professionals, and to increase our visibility and voice.
