HIP HOP ROADSHOW, LOS ANGELES, Thursday, June 23, 2022, at the Petersen Automotive Museum, kicking off BET Weekend. The event recognized the significant contributions of west coast artists and serves as a means of engaging the music industry and regional Hip Hop icons. There will be additional stops on the roadshow that will ultimately cover the nation.
Rocky Bucano, President and Executive Director, Universal Hip Hop Museum.
“Now that the museum’s structure has been completed, we must engage the Hip Hop community across the country to ensure that we preserve the culture’s most treasured artifacts and the history of its respective regions. This event is the just beginning of a national road trip to do just that.” “The significance of the west coast’s contribution to Hip Hop is undeniable. We want to share the museum’s progress and build relationships with our global Hip Hop community. The first stop is Los Angeles.”

“The music, artists, and culture drive everything we do at the museum. This is an opportunity to not only acknowledge the rich west coast Hip Hop history but also engage artists so that their journey is accurately immortalized through museum exhibition, educational programs, and historical entries.”
