We Are Hip Hop in Philadelphia
The Hip Hop Foundation of Philadelphia exists to preserve the culture, create professional opportunities and strengthen the communities that continue to shape Hip Hop.
Philadelphia has made historic contributions to music, emceeing, DJing, graffiti, dance, fashion, radio, independent media and neighborhood-based cultural organizing. However, many artists, young creatives and community organizations still lack consistent access to performance spaces, educational resources, media platforms, professional development and sustainable funding.
We are working to help close those gaps.
Through concerts, radio programming, workshops, youth education, community events, internships, public storytelling and nonprofit partnerships, The Hip Hop Foundation provides platforms where people can develop their talents, share their work, build relationships and contribute to Philadelphia’s creative community.
