Our Mission
"HHC empowers localities around the world through the development and sharing of its cultural resources. Our network serves artists, youth and thought-leaders who support grassroots initiatives and culturally-informed education for social change."
Hip Hop Congress Inc (HHC) is a non-profit 501c3 organization dedicated to spreading Hip Hop cultural awareness through creative exchange to uplift individuals and communities. We collaborate our efforts as a local, regional, national and international grassroots network to evolve the vehicle of Hip Hop culture as a means for social engagement, civic service, cultural creativity and economic growth.
Our local, regional and international chapters, affiliates and respective communities consist of a 30+ year network of diverse individuals driving the necessary change to transform the world by uplifting others through creative development, education, civic engagement and equitable resource exchange. HHC hosts cultural events and workshops focused on the art forms of Deejaying / Turntablism, Emceeing / Rapping, Music Production, Dancing, Graffiti Art and Beat Boxing, as both formats and topics of alternative education, mental health and youth-leadership development. HHC is committed to programs that develop social emotional learning, mental health, academic growth and inclusive education across all genders, races, ages, and ethnicities.
Established in 1993 as a grassroots movement of independent artists , Hip Hop Congress branded collaborative efforts with a university student organization (USC) and began bridging school and community culture when it became a 501(c)3 organization in 2000, connecting diverse people from around the world through the power of education, art, music, dance and social justice.
Virally spreading over 70 school and community chapters across the globe in less than a decade, HHC was the first and largest grassroots Hip Hop-based nonprofit organization of its kind. The organization and its broad chapter and artist network spanned across 6 continents, promoting leadership across the United States, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Japan, South Korea, China, France, Spain, Switzerland, and Australia.
