Vancouver will be hosting the third ever annual InternationalIndigenousHipHopAwards in August
Vancouver is gearing up to host the 3rd annual International Indigenous Hip Hop Awards Show on August 11 and 12.
The two-day event promises to celebrate the vibrant culture of Indigenous hip-hop artists. Set against the backdrop of the traditional unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm , Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlilwətaɬ Nations, the awards show proudly pays homage to the rich heritage of its host city.
Renowned American rapper and legendary record producer Master Ace, along with a lineup of artists, including Blahzay Blahzay, Chip Fu, Miss Christie Lee, Rex Smallboy and Mamarudegyal MTHC, will grace the stage and lend their expertise as awards judges. The IIHHAS movement aims to uplift and provide national and international exposure to Indigenous urban arts performers and small businesses through live music engagement and educational conferences. The event recognizes and celebrates the dedication, community impact, and artistic brilliance of export-ready Indigenous hip-hop artists, singers, visual artists, spoken word poets, producers, DJs and more by hosting a music conference followed by the awards show.
The International Indigenous Hip Hop Awards Show will also commemorate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. They are launching the World’s First Ever Indigenous Hip Hop Card Collections for 2023 to mark this milestone.
