A DEEPER LOOK INTO THE WOMEN NURTURING BUFFALO’S HIP-HOP RENAISSANCE.

Hip-hop is a male-dominated sport, on the surface. Since the genre’s inception, women have held a unique position of redefining the sound, look, and culture of the genre without receiving their proper credit. As a new generation of listeners, artists, and industry folk challenge the outdated perspectives that have often existed within the hip-hop community, it is imperative to create a space where women are celebrated for their contributions to the most influential sound in the world. In Buffalo, where the Hip-Hop scene is reaching a new frontier, many women who are involved in the musical arts have a two-fold mission - perfecting their gift and nurturing their community through their gift. 

This year features artists: Audi3k, DJ Liberty, Lulu & Friends, and a Special Guest

With a gentle nod to the 5 elements of hip-hop, these performers will showcase their talent and tell their stories along with a handful of women propagating hip-hop. You will not only learn what they do - but why they do it. In the powerful words of Queen Latifah, this is “Ladies First.”

Presented by Torn Space Theater, this year's showcase is made possible with the support of Project Mona House, Radah Baked Goods, The Natural Hustle, Buffalove Bus, Happi's Place and the Challenger Community News.
