The 50th anniversary of hip-hop may have come and gone — but the celebration is far from over.
On June 6, experience the potency of hip-hop culture like never before, at the GRAMMY Museum's Hip-Hop Block Party.
The event will take place on site at the GRAMMY Museum, located on 800 W Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles, California.
This follows in the footsteps of the GRAMMY Museum's 'Hip-Hop America: The Mixtape Exhibit,' — an expansive series of historical hip-hop eexhibit running until Sept. 24, 2024.
The GRAMMY Museum's Hip-Hop Block Party will introduce an exciting array of interdisciplinary arts and experiences, immersing new audiences in the power of hip-hop. This will include:
-
Dynamic dance showcases lead by Leslie "Big Lez" Segar and Richard "Swoop" Whitebear
-
A cutting-edge fashion show featuring Cross Colours and the Black Design Collective
-
A captivating Sight & Sound photo gallery presented by Alvin Allure & Entertain the Angels and Corentin Villemeur
-
Riveting live performances by UraelB, Nilla Allin, and Xian Bell, and vibes curated by DJ R-Tistic on the ones and twos
As such, every floor of the GRAMMY Museum will be activated, and transformed into a living canvas of artistic expression.
The Hip-Hop Block Party will celebrate and empower local artists and businesses, creating an unforgettable celebration of creativity, community and culture in celebration of Black Music Month. This event is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
