We Found Hip Hop, Giving Women In Hip Hop A Space To Thrive

Southfield (CW50) – We Found Hip Hop was created as a space for women to produce media, music, and film, and find educational opportunities aimed at redefining the vital role of women in hip hop.

Hip hop is a notoriously male-dominated genre. Women in the industry, both performers and producers, can play a vital role in the industry's future and creating a space where women who are interested in breaking into that industry can learn, develop, and succeed is exactly what We Found Hip Hop is trying to accomplish.

We Found Hip Hop provides the studio space, equipment, mentorship, and educational opportunities necessary for women to succeed in the industry.
