How Hip Hop Fairyland is Giving Back to The Community During The Event

While i might be most excited about the beat-making workshop with DJ Rhyming and the hip hop performances, the best part about this event is that Hip Hop Fairyland is a true marriage between music and community. While the performances are happening, there will be partners who will be reaching out to community about wellness programs all while there are local legends bringing workshops and music to attendees.

In addition to the performances, the event is expected to have health and wellness partners on board. These partners include the Roots Clinic, Ace Kids Golf, West Oakland Health Care Center, Alameda Public Health Department, and the Oakland Unified School District Community Schools.

If the workshops and performances don’t get you hyped up, you might find delight in children’s book readings of “The Dentist and the Fire Breathing Dragon,” authored by Oakland-born Hip Hop Artist Sunspot Jonz and presented by the acclaimed artist and puppeteer, Emily Butterfly.

Oakland’s mayor, Sheng Thao, will be in attendance at the event honoring community leaders including Dr. Noha Aboelata of Roots Clinic, Del the Funky Homosapien, Jav the Dentist and more within our local hip hop community.
