About the event
🎤 Hood Summit: HipHop-Hood
The Influence. The Illusion. The Impact On the Hood
Saturday, May 17th, 2025 | 1 PM | Ladera Park
Hip-Hop was born in the basement of pain, a revolutionary sound created by Black and Brown youth as a form of expression, resistance, and survival. But over the decades, what started as a voice for the voiceless has often been commercialized into a weapon of mass distraction and destruction—especially in the hood.
At Hood Summit: HipHop-Hood, we’re diving deep into the evolution of Hip-Hop and asking the real questions:
Has Hip-Hop healed the hood—or harmed it?
