World Up!

The Global Hip-Hop Project

About Me

Founded in 2004, World Up is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about international cultures, and issues that affect the global community through Hip-Hop and its related musics. Through our ongoing events, educational programming, and our annual music festival, we are actively promoting and fostering diversity, cross-cultural understanding, and social change through Hip-Hop culture.
World Up is run by a group of volunteers who come from diverse backgrounds and cultures but share a deep love for Hip-Hop and how it is used as a tool for social and political change. We have a well established network of artists, DJs, MC’s, Film makers, promoters, activists, and the like around the globe.
Join the Movement!
World Up is always looking for cool people interested in working with us on developing programs, curriculums, and marketing campaigns in the US and abroad. Volunteers, MCs, DJs, VJs, writers, artists, designers, marketing gurus, illustrators + more. If you would like to be involved or added to our mailing list please contact us at
World Up is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions in behalf of World Up may be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. DONATE HERE
