POWER STYLE WEEKPart of Hip Hop Heritage Month, several of Chicago’s Hip Hop organizations/crews come together to bring the community a week of Hip Hop events showcasing Chicago Hip Hop from all the elements – DJ, MC, Bboy/Bgirl, Graff, and Knowledge!
A 2nd rendition of the original Power Style Fest by Reksick, Sindee, Teck and Illanoiz. We welcome everyone to come and support our efforts of showcasing Hip Hop culture in a positive light.
Chicago has always been plagued by the media as a city of violence. We want to show everyone that we are helping the community stay off the streets and to channel their energy into something positive.
Calling all DJs, MCs, Bboys/Bgirls, and Graff heads, and practitioners of HIp Hop. It’s time to come test your skills! Show and prove! All under one roof. It’s been while since we’ve had ALL of the elements battling under one roof!
