The Hip Hop South Festival celebrates the impact of hip hop across the South. Co-curated by Harvard Nasir Jones Hip Hop Fellows Christopher Massenburg (also known as Dasan Ahanu) and Dr. Regina Bradley, the festival includes headlining performances by hip hop heavyweights and local artists, as well as academic gatherings, late-night beat and dance battles, visual art and more. Dr. Bradley's "Dirty South Scribes" exhibit seeks to highlight and honor the Southern-based writers who have broken ground in writing about Southern rap’s significance.
