About Us
This non-profit organization was created with the goal of liberating local hip hop artists, fostering community, and giving them a chance to perform for audiences.
in Madison, there is no local scene for hip hop music or performers. Past venues for hip hop were shut down by the city. Many music performance spaces and bar owners refuse to allow hip hop in their establishments. Hip Hop isn’t even allowed to be played by DJs in some bars. This is done out of a biased fear that Hip Hop music itself breeds crime.
Despite these roadblocks, artists cannot be suppressed from self-expression. There are many talented and dedicated hip hop performers in Madison, and audiences hungry for this form of expression at all age levels. Hip hop has been around for more than forty years. It is not going away. It is a purely American form of music, and it deserves to be cultured and given the same spaces that other forms of music are given.
Hip-hop has been around over 40 years and is one of the most popular genres in the world. Not all hip-hop is negative stereotypes that are portrait. The positive effects of the music are rarely talked about. Many of these young adults grew up in troubled neighborhoods and are looking for a way out and some of them see hip-hop as that way out.

We hope to create a space that will have a stage, recording studio, video equipment, conference room, V.I.P room, showers, and an office of operations. We are working on building a future for hip hop in Madison.

We are working on building a future for hip hop in Madison, and that can only be done by assuaging fears and working with the community at large. I plan on having a monthly incidents report to show the city that my plan actually works.
A strong, safe, positive community space like this will help tor reduce crime, ease racial tensions, create jobs, give young performers a chance to build their dreams, and give audiences a place to hear the music they enjoy, all while giving back to the community
Donations will help and go to a great cause! We want all of the local artist to be able to show off their talents in a free and safe environment. Any amount helps our cause, Thank-you!
