7th Annual Twin Cities Celebration of Hip-Hop

By Bliss Requa-Trautz

The annual Twin Cities Celebration of Hip-Hop brings together people from all walks of life to celebrate the power of community through hip-hop culture. In the past six years over 22,000 people from around the world have taken part in the festival and conference. Past participants include Slick Rick, MC Lyte, Naughty By Nature, Cee-Lo of Gnarls Barkley, Clipse, Camp Lo, Crazy Legs, Slug of Atmosphere, Jean Grae, Asia-One, EWOK (HM Crew), Brother Ali, and many others.

The TCCHH is about more than just music. Each year we focus on an issue that young people think is of importance and create a plan for action. This year's theme is "Speak Easy: Healthy Communication for Our Community.”

Other TCCHH highlights include Youth Strategy Session Workshops, MC Battle, Beatbox Battle, Production/Beat Battle, DJ Battle, B-Boy/Girl Battle, Hip-Hop Dance Battle, Graffiti, Open Air Outdoor Market, and Networking.
