Zimbabwe
In 2024, five Hip Hop artists traveled to Zimbabwe, as part of the Next Level program. Artist-educators Lady Beast (Dancer), Dee-1 (MC), Nick Neutronz (DJ), and Krithi (Beatmaker) will join Site Manager Aysha Upchurch to perform for audiences and collaborate with local artists to promote cross-cultural creative exchange and conflict transformation. Team Zimbabwe is part of a larger Next Level cohort of American MCs, DJs, beatmakers, and Hip Hop dancers seeking to create a global community through Hip Hop culture.
