United in Hip Hop: 10 Year Anniversary Youth Breaking Jam

Youth-run breaking jam with youth DJ, MC and judges, adult mentors, live art and prize money. Celebrating 10 years of United in Hip Hop!

United in Hip Hop is celebrating 10 years of youth breaking in Las Vegas, and you're invited.

It all started with one question. At 11 years old, Nightmare asked his mom MK, "Why can't kids run breaking jams?" With adult mentors guiding the way, they made it happen. In 2016 we held our first event with a youth DJ, youth MC and youth judges, backed by adult mentors working side by side with their mentees before and during the jam. Graffiti artists and live painters taught kids about the art along the way.

Ten years later, the mission is the same: pass on knowledge, one of the core elements of hip hop, to the next generation.

What to expect:

• Youth breaking battles, run by youth and mentored by adults
• Youth DJ, youth MC and youth judges
• Graffiti and live art
• Prize money for the first time ever
• Food for mentors and mentees, plus event T-shirts

Your ticket goes straight to the youth: feeding mentors and mentees on event day, stipends for the mentors who give their time, T-shirts, and our first-ever prize money.

Every ticket counts. Help us keep the culture alive.

Forever grateful, MK and Nightmare
