Jamshedpur HIP-HOP Revolution – Score Short Reads
Jamshedpur, a city known for the conglomerate, TATA Steel plants, and for movie lovers Udaan. But can it be known for something more, something completely different, something like Hip-hop? this thought hovered over the mind of Ritik Raaj, a young fellow from the city when his love for music and especially hip-hop culture made him start what is now considered as Jamshedpur Hip-hop revolution.
Jamshedpur Jamming and Jamshedpur hip-hop tv are trying to empower hip-hop in the city to the fullest, be it rapping, beatboxing, dancing, basically all the pillars of hip-hop.
Where Jamshedpur jamming is a group of 5 musicians who organize rap battles, cyphers, block parties in the city to promote hip-hop culture, Jamshedpur hip-hop tv is a Youtube channel that helps budding artists from the city to distribute and release their music through their platform.
