Why Hip Hop 

At HHN2L, hip hop is more than a genre—it’s the heartbeat of our work. It connects with youth in a way nothing else does, because it’s their language, their rhythm, their story.

According to Spotify, 24% of Gen Z name hip hop as their top genre. But for our students, it’s more than music—it’s therapy, truth-telling, and transformation.

What makes our impact unique is that hip hop heals both the artist and the audience. Students write through their feelings, reclaim their voices, and turn thier voices into purpose. And when their songs are heard, they speak to others who feel unseen, offering connection, reflection, and hope. Hip hop at HHN2L is a tool for literacy, a path to healing, and a movement for change.
