AllHipHop, Guerrilla Republik, and the Delaware Art Museum present the 2nd Annual Hip-Hop Cultural Summit, a free family-friendly event celebrating Hip-Hop’s role in social justice, change, and civic engagement on Saturday, October 26, 10 am – 5 pm. Last year’s event attracted over 1,000 attendees.
This year, we’re continuing the focus on Hip-Hop, civic engagement, and activism by incorporating Hip-Hop element battles in MCing, graffiti, and breakdancing. Battle participants will compete for 1st ($500 gift card), 2nd ($300 gift card), and 3rd ($100 gift card) place prizes in each category. Each battle will have three judges, who are masters of their respective Hip-Hop elements. Judges will be announced soon.
