This page is dedicated to the entire Philadelphia Hip Hop community. While there have been numerous attempts to do so, there has not been a project completed thus far about the significance of Philadelphia and it’s history in Hip Hop culture. The story and timeline must be told but more importantly documented.

The page will also include audio, videos, and photos from Philly concerts, resources and links for current events, projects, and information about the Philly Hip Hop community.

Below there are list of Philadelphian’s whom has contributed to the our hip hop community. Members will have the access to add names and information that may be missing or incorrect. Please keep in mind the list will be updated continuously, therefore no one will be excluded intentionally.

Everyone is welcome to submit material and information to be archived to the actual library of this website for future observations.
