Project Overview

Local Vibes! Minnesota's all-Minnesotan hip-hop show. Local Vibes brings Hip-Hop's vast cultural legacy and political importance into Minnesota's 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 underserved to public broadcasting by creating easily accessible high-quality, culturally reflective programming.
