“Hip-hop gave a generation a common ground that didn’t require either race to lose anything; everyone gained.” – Jay Z 

Hip-hop is a globally appreciated music genre, but nobody does it better than where it all began – the USA! 

There’s nothing quite like the energy you can find at a USA hip hop music festival. It’s electric, it’s authentic and it’s a loud voice for many. It has grown from its beginnings within African American and Latino communities of The Bronx in New York City to being embraced and loved by all races, creeds, ethnicities and genders.
