Hip Hop Soul Jam - A Celebration of Emerging Artists Supporting Millennium Promise

Hip-Hop Soul Jam is a quarterly performance series showcasing emerging hip hop soul artists making music for a purpose. The event, conceived and produced by Hip Hop Saves Lives Founder Chad Harper, aims to expose new and positive talent in the hip hop soul community, while using the power of the genre for vital causes. In Partnership with Cocody Productions (Jake Bright), the evening also brings together the new African Diaspora, and connects it to mainstream New York. Partying for a purpose, each Hip Hop Soul Jam donates proceeds of the evening’s ticket sales to a select charity. The event format features live performances by local and international acts, highlights and benefits a chosen charity, and begins and concludes with a DJ led dance party celebrating music genres of the Black Diaspora. The September 20 event at Michael Dorf's City Winery will feature performances by three live acts. Proceeds of the evening’s ticket sales will benefit Millennium Promise, to coincide with the UN's 2010 Millennium Development Goals Summit: (www.millenniumpromise.org). Press is confirmed, including the award winning, internationally syndicated show Afropop Worldwide.
