Puerto Rican (and “Latino”) contributions have been a central but often overlooked component in the historical development of hip hop. Black on Both Sides aims to encourage dialogue around issues of black identity in hip hop, and its potential to stimulate social, political, and civic engagement throughout African Diaspora communities in New York City and beyond. Black on Both Sides brings together a cross-generational line-up that includes hip hop pioneers and emerging artists for critical conversation and performance.
