Our story
While hip-hop is sometimes taken for granted by Americans, it is not so elsewhere, especially in the developing world, where it has come to represent the empowerment of the disenfranchised and a slice of the American dream. Hip-hop music has reached the cultural corridors of the globe and has been absorbed and reinvented around the world. Some countries, like Tanzania, maintain popular acts of their own, Scandinavian, especially Danish and Swedish, performers are well known outside of their country, while hip hop continues its spread into new regions, including Russia, Japan, Philippines, Canada, China, Korea, India and especially Vietnam.
