Why
hiphop?
hiphop represents community
Hip hop as both a musical genre and a culture was formed during the 1970s when block parties became increasingly popular in New York City, particularly among African American youth residing in the Bronx. At 5th Element NI we continue to promote the importance of community projects that bring people together in order to drive community spirit in us all.
