Local Vibes
Local Vibes! Minnesota's only all-Minnesotan hip-hop show, Local Vibes brings Hip-hop's vast cultural legacy and political importance into Minnesota's streets (and ears) creating an impact across the state. Interviews, performances and videos of local hip hop artists mix to create an interactive digital archive of Minnesota's rich hip-hop history as well as introducing the local artists currently making national waves in this genre. Local Vibes crosses political and cultural programming, introducing an audience typically under-served to public broadcasting by creating easily accessible high-quality, culturally reflective programming.

The project will give more Minnesotans the opportunity to participate in and be exposed to more local and student-generated and produced music. More local musicians will have their work showcased through public broadcasting. Students will receive hands-on instruction and experience in producing and promoting and archiving a public radio music program featuring student bands.
