Hip Hop Congress (HHC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, international grassroots network that educates, empowers and unites individuals. Its mission is to preserve and evolve hip hop culture by inspiring social action and cultural creativity within the community.

In 1993, Reali Robinson and Shamako Noble started an artist organization called Hip Hop Congress. In 2000, Jordan Bromley and Ron Gubitz started a campus activist group called Hip Hop Congress. The two groups did not know about each other until the summer of 2000, while surfing the web. Instead of arguing over who should keep the name, the two organizations merged and formed the current Hip Hop Congress. From there, our programs, activities and network have expanded.

The Hip Hop Congress is a diverse group of individuals spanning 28 chapters on university campuses, high schools, and communities. The organization throws Hip Hop Culture Awareness Festivals, concerts, academic discussions, movie screenings, and much more. Each chapter responds to the needs and the personalities of their local community.
