Since the genre\u2019s 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 As a new generation of listeners, artists, and industry folk challenge the outdated perspectives that have often existed within the hip-hop community, it is imperative to create a space where women are celebrated for their contributions to the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 &#8211; perfecting their gift and nurturing their community through their gift.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>This year features artists: Audi3k, DJ Liberty, Lulu &amp; Friends, and a Special Guest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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.
