The Hip Hop Museum and our development team at L+M Development Partners LLC, have carefully taken into consideration the feedback of the residents of the housing portion of our shared mixed use development. Those who reside on the premises have expressed a desire to view an art piece from their windows. And we listened. In response we invited THHM's artist in residence Eric Orr, creator of the first Hip Hop comic book and style writer El Souls to design a work of art that reflects the museum and its location.

This artwork will underscore our commitment to addressing the concerns of the Bronx community. As an institution created by and for the people who live, breathe, and carry Hip Hop culture, we take pride in being the "Official Record of Hip Hop." With that title comes a responsibility to honor those who call the Bronx home. #TheHipHopMuseum

Chicago, we’re keeping the momentum going strong! After an epic kickoff, we brought even more impactful moments to the Chase Stony Island branch.

Next up, our co-founder and executive director of The Hip Hop Museum, Rocky Bucano, shared the latest exciting updates on our mission to empower the culture. The highlight? A powerhouse panel, “How to Invest Like a Boss: Flip Your Finances,” featuring Leon Rogers, Erik Rico Nance, and Chef Fab. They dropped gems on how to take control of your financial future through smart investments and entrepreneurship. We wrapped up the day with a curated culinary from entrepreneur and Chase Client, Nicole Jordan Catering, DJ Tai (@taihunter_) & DJ Mustafa Rocks (@DJMustafarocks), @THHMuseum iconic hip hop artifacts, and next-level breakdancing performances!
