About 300 artists were invited to contribute to the worlds largest Graff Jam to mark the start of the city’s Brighton Hip Hop Festival. Thousands of people are expected to attend the annual festival.
The Times - July 2006
The Brighton Hip Hop Festival is on its way again. The event promotes Hip Hop as a positive culture and challenges stereotypes.
Juice - July 2006
Brighton is home to a burgeoning Hip Hop community and its just right in size and attitude to do your own thing and still keep up to date with what everybody else in the city is doing and the annual Brighton Hip Hop Festival is testament to that.
Hip Hop Connection - August 2006
I have never seen anything like this before in my life, I love Graffiti and Street Art, yet the artists only ever seem to get recognition on a small scale. I think that this sort of publicity and recognition will encourage them to try harder and keep this very valuable artform alive.
