We're doing this for the love of the entire Hip Hop community and not
for any money or hype (no banners/ads/gimmicks) because you only can serve one (Matthew 6:24).
We're also trying to keep it as open as possible to those who want to
do the same, so help us keep this site safe for everyone who views it.
Thanks for checking us out and supporting the movement.
The Upperground Community is a non-profit online collaborative project, by people like yourself, to uplift Hip Hop culture by providing a equal opportunity network of positive Hip Hop people, places, and ideas in Southern California.
This community is also dedicated in supporting and promoting the venue model of Sessions by encouraging, training, and learning towards building urban arts communities everywhere.
