Hello.

For anyone into Hip-Hop.

Whether you've been at it for years or you're just curious, this is a place to explore. Everything is free. Run a battle, paint a wall, mix on some decks, dress up a character, or read up on where it all started.

Turntables are expensive. So is spray paint. I wanted a spot where you can try it all without spending anything. There's no guide and no rules. Just have fun.

I've been Breaking since 2011, and Hip-Hop has done a lot for me. Hope you find something you like.

Things I've learnedFive albums of notes
I came in through Breaking. Start anywhere.

Notes from a Hip-Hop history program I did, plus what I've picked up dancing and travelling. I check my facts, but I'm still learning. If something's off, let me know.

History is told many ways

Much of Hip-Hop's history is oral history. Dates, names and stories can differ depending on who tells them. The tracks draw on a Hip-Hop history program, lived experience and published research. If you were there and remember it differently, I want to hear from you.

Respect to the pioneers

The people, crews and events mentioned here belong to their own stories. Being mentioned doesn't mean they're involved with, or endorse, this project.

Names belong to their owners

Names of artists, songs, crews, places and brands are used to give credit. They belong to their owners.

Gear is just for fun

Avatar gear only exists on this site. It can't be bought with real money and has no cash value.
