Celebrate 7 Years of Hip Hop!!



The Movement Celebration: Celebrating 7 Years of Twin Cities Hip-Hop
Sunday August 24th – 7th Street Entry/First Avenue

For 6 years in a row organizing non-profit YO! The Movement has presented the Twin Cities Celebration of Hip-Hop. Each August the best of local Hip-Hop and new acts come together with battles, performances, workshops, a national headliner and more. Due to conflicts with the fear of negative aspects in Hip-Hop and funding the celebration will not presented in its full capacity this year. Instead YO! The Movement decided to create an event celebrating 7 years of success and end the summer with the same spirit.

On Sunday August 24th at the 7th Street Entry artists from across Minnesota, the Midwest, and California will come together for performances, workshops, a B-Boy/Popping Exhibition, a Krump dance exhibition, Hip-Hop karaoke, and more. Support your scene and do your part to see the Twin Cities Celebration of Hip-Hop return in full capacity next year.

Workshop (FREE): 12-4PM
– Deconstruct the Police: What real role of the police? Where do they fit in a society maintaining the marginalization of its citizens? Join Yo!
