Who We Are

Volume 6 Issue 1

“Our progress, our identity, and our legacy, are inextricably linked in the field of hip-hop studies and the expression of hip-hop culture. In other words, if you are a hip-hop inspired poet, painter, sculptor, photographer, writer, scholar, or a fan, our success is tied to yours. You are the creators, the field, and the culture. We are your mirror. We are a reflection of you and we are working to be the clearest mirror you have ever looked into”
