What Happens Next After You Reach Out?

We Read Everything
Every message gets personal attention from our team.

Real Conversations
If you’re interested in programs, we’ll talk about what might be the right fit. If you want to support or partner, we’ll explore how to make that meaningful for everyone involved.

Follow Through
We believe in following up and following through. If we say we’ll get back to you, we will. If we connect you with opportunities, we’ll check in on how it’s going.

getting started

  • Youth ages 16–19 from low-income backgrounds who are passionate about hip-hop and music creation. We’re looking for artists who are hungry to grow and ready to put in the work.

  • No. All programs are free for participants. Youth in the Summer Intensive also receive a $750 stipend, meals, and help with transportation. We handle the barriers so you can focus on the growth.

  • Nope. You don’t need studio experience or formal training—just real passion and willingness to show up and grow. We meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.

  • Absolutely. The Residency is open to vocalists, producers, songwriters, and other creatives. There are two main tracks: Vocal and Production. Hip-hop is bigger than just one element, and so are we.

  • Applications for the Summer Intensive open each spring. For ongoing programs, reach out to us directly. We’ll talk through what might be the right fit based on where you are and where you want to go.
