The Center for Hip-Hop Advocacy strives to expand public understanding of Hip Hop music and culture. Our mission is to ensure the fair and accurate documentation and communication of its diverse and ongoing contributions across various fields and disciplines.

The Center places a spotlight on Hip Hop’s impact in areas such as music and the arts, education, health and wellness, science and technology, politics and social justice, business and entrepreneurship, the fine arts, well-being and philosophy. Simply put, we are dedicated to narrating the comprehensive story of Hip Hop—past, present, and future—from an independent and objective perspective. Our goal is to educate, inspire, and safeguard the cultural, artistic, and community-based elements that define Hip Hop as a whole, and amplify the innovative and inspiring ways those elements are uniquely positioned to help uplift humanity.
