Welcome to the University of Hip-Hop
We are a multidisciplinary school of the street arts...
Our students learn how to use graffiti arts, break-dance, emceeing, and turntablism for community beautification and transformation...
We have teachers and youth who work across the country helping to design hip-hop community development projects and bring living color to the universe through hip-hop...
Share your light with us, and let's build ideas for hip-hop work in the 21st Century!
