Our History:
Hip-Hop-Ademics, LLC. initially began as a graduate school project. While pursuing his master’s degree in education, Brian’s interest in the rising popularity of hip-hop music and culture combined with his awareness of the declining success of existing academic programs to reach children and instill in them a love of learning. With the hubris of only the very young and very determined, Brian decided to create a program where Hip-Hop and Academics meet. Hip-Hop-Ademics is the result of his efforts.
