New Orleans is well-know the world over for its rich musical history. From jazz to soul to hip-hop and beyond, the Big Easy has produced some of the biggest names to ever grace the stage. Yet, in regards to hip-hop, the far-reaching successes of artists such as Lil Wayne and Curren$y have not helped to shine a light on the local talent bubbling below the Mason-Dixon, several of which are familiar faces on this site.
With that being said, Holly Hobbs (artist manager, musician and promoter) has put together a team of multimedia professionals to launch a digital archive of oral commentaries and visual exhibitions to highlight "the city's rappers, producers and DJs" who helped push many performers into the mainstream of music and pop culture - most of whom "remain largely invisible."
We strongly encourage our network of artists, musicians, photographers, videographers and other creatives to "wobble, wobble and shake, shake" yourself to
Kickstarter and make a pledge. Every bit helps.
