A growing organization for upcoming and even some established artist is The Hip Hop Congress. Its mission is to help evolve the hip hop culture by inspiring social action and creativity within the community. The Hip Hop Congress provides the Hip Hop Generation and the Post Hip Hop Generation with the tools, resources and opportunities to make social, economic and political change on a local, regional and national level. Hip Hop Congress consist of a of artists and students, music and community. The HIp Hop Congress consists of three major programs that allow for its involvement. Its first program is its Chapter Program, which develops chapters in universities, high schools and communities. Hip Hop Congress chapters engage in a range of activities promoting hip hop culture on their campus or in their community. The second program is Its Artist Program, which is designed to help artists pool resources, sell music and take advantage of all the opportunities the music industry has to offer without giving away the rights to their works in return. It strives to create an international web of resources and contacts for its artist members.
The third program is the Online Program which manages its website and fosters collaboration with like-minded websites. The website helps to connect chapters, artists, and any other person working for the congress, and encourages comments upon the state of the world and encourages members to share their opinion.
The Hip Hop Congress places great value on educational opportunities. . As many services within the educational system become privatized, more and more institutions are looking to independent contractors and consultants for program design and execution. In addition, the inclusion and addition of Urban Arts into the education system through youth centers, events and generational shifts is becoming all the more common. That’s why the Hip Hop Congress has picked up education as an initiative and focul point for its artists, and chapters.
Overall, being apart and getting involved with the HIP-HOP congress is sure to be beneficial
to any part-taker or hip-hop enthusiast within the music industry.
