Hip Hop 50

Now, 50 years from its inception, we invite all Hip Hop artists and fans, from past and present, to attend, celebrate and be recognized for your contributions!

Hip Hop 50 will celebrate the five elements of Hip Hop and shine light on Seattle’s contributions to the culture. This is a day for old friends and new friends; a family reunion and celebration. The event will feature The Residency, B-Boy and B-Girl Dance battles, a Fashion Show with performances by Kutt n Up, a Legends Cypher, and a Music Tribute featuring Vitamin D and Roc Phizzle. Hip Hop 50 is presented by Friends, 206 Zulu, Coolout Network, Dope Culture, On the Block, and KEXP.

Stay tuned for the full line up of participants and activities. Check back soon!
