Africa is the future of hip-hop. It’s 54 African nations. Not only are they spitting like crazy, but they’re also braiding languages. Hip-hop is going to like 3.0 when you talk about Africa. Hip-hop is there. So that’s the sustaining power if you want to pay attention to it. – Chuck D

The Hip Hop African (HHA) is a blog and podcast that documents African hip hop artists and culture in Africa and around the world. 

The content on HHA is primarily created by our talented team of writers, who are students enrolled in the Hip Hop in Africa course at Howard University and George Washington University. The website was developed collaboratively by both faculty members and students from the Department of African Studies at Howard University located in Washington, DC.

Launched in 2016, our podcast is also the longest running podcast on African hip hop culture
