It is with sadness that I am announcing the indefinite postponement of Hip-Hop Week MKE for 2021.
While I would love to bring forth the usual positive energy, music, information and resources that Hip-Hop Week MKE is now known for across the city, the state and the nation, the current state of affairs has made it nearly impossible to pull off in a meaningful way.
The improving but still uncertain conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have created a logistical labyrinth for most artists and for venues. Sponsors and partners are also stretched for resources and staff, and in a difficult situation.
Do you have feedback on Milwaukee NNS's reporting? Take our survey to let us know how we're doing!
Safety and public health must continue to be the first priority!
I look forward to that day (hopefully in the not too distant future) when I hold a launch news conference on the first day of the NEXT Hip-Hop Week MKE.
