New Zealand
In 2024, five Hip Hop artists will travel to New Zealand as part of the Next Level program. Artist-educators Lady Sol (Dancer), Dior Ashley Brown (MC), SlopFunkDust (Beatmaker), and MAST (Aerosol Artist) will join Site Manager Miki Vale to perform for audiences and collaborate with local artists to promote cross-cultural creative exchange and conflict transformation. Team New Zealand 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.
