This event has ended.

But you can still check out the music and playlists from the event as selected by event presenters.

Representation isn’t just about seeing people, it’s about seeing the person for who they are, their story, and what makes them. Join us for two quick programs highlighting local music leaders in Southeast Michigan, who will tell their hip hop story in 5 songs. These quick chats aim to elevate voices and visionaries in our region, share artistic inspirations, and serve as a space for introduction, connection, and curiosity.

Presenters on Tuesday, December 1:

• Jamall Bufford, rapper, member of Athletic Mic League, and project specialist, My Brother’s Keeper Washtenaw County
• Piper Carter, arts and culture organizer, founder of We Found Hip Hop, creator of Dilla Youth Day, and host of the Piper Carter Podcast
