We are closely following the situation with COVID-19 via the CDC and SF Department of Public Health and will share any updates on our website, newsletter, and social media channels.
This show is really influenced to my connection with hip-hop/rap. In particular the show focus is on the Hyphy Movement in the early 2000’s and the influence it had sweeping across the nation. Thinking a lot about the language and energy that Hyphy brought to places like the Midwest. Thinking of words like “Hella”, really being such a part of my vocabulary at that time. This is also a show that will be function as a moment to be grittier and raw with a lot of flash and jewelry.
