The program is open to all members of the hip-hop community regardless of race, age, gender, location or music profession.

The program will bring programming to key cities over three years, with the focus on fostering long-term relationships to continue building MusiCares programming that is responsive to the needs of the hip-hop community.

MusiCares will add a full-time project lead for Humans of Hip Hop to serve as the day-to-day focal point for building inroads and maintaining partnership with the hip-hop community.

The 'Humans of Hip Hop' program began with a focus on eight key cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles/Compton, New York, Oakland, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C.

Between August 2021 and July 2022, one-fifth of all MusiCares clients identified as Black music professionals.

A MusiCares spokesperson clarified that while the Black Music Collective played a key role in the creation of this program, the program is open to all members of the hip-hop community.

The program's supporting partner is ticket marketplace Vivid Seats, which has partnered with MusiCares since 2020, sponsoring COVID-19 and natural disaster relief efforts.

Recording Academy/Black Music Collective Chair Rico Love and New York-based artist advocate Salt-N-Pepa are among the artist advocates for 'Humans of Hip Hop'.

Vivid Seats CEO Stan Chia said, "Vivid Seats is proud to support MUSICARES' work through their new HUMANS OF HIP HOP campaign. We believe in the power of live events and supporting those working behind the music."

MusiCares is grateful to artist advocates and sponsors for helping them kick off this program.

The program's goal is to provide resources and assistance to all members of the hip-hop community, regardless of race, age, gender, location, or music profession.
