NMAAM: Hip-hop scholars
August 2020 marked hip hop’s 47th anniversary. With the Museum dedicating an entire gallery to the story of hip hop called “The Message,” they saw August as an opportunity to further their acknowledgement of its impact while creating inroads to engage lovers of this genre.
Authentique developed the concept and program “Hip Hop Scholars” as a year round celebration of the currently most consumed music in the world. Hip Hop Scholars is dedicated to the power of storytelling and the future of the genre and was launched as a digital destination and extension of the Museum’s The Message gallery.
