Our History

  • Founded June 2014, we began as a collective of artists dedicated to filling the huge gaps in support and infrastructure for the Welsh music scene. Promoting Hip-Hop culture's original tenets and supporting those who help create it naturally led us to engage with Welsh youth groups and charities, utilising Hip-Hop as a creative learning tool.
