Project Overview
Launched in 2024 with support from The 2024 UIC Awards for Creative Activity and in collaboration with the Chicago Hip-Hop Heritage Museum, the Chicago Hip-Hop History Project aims to provide context and connections for all elements of Chicago hip-hop history through our digital projects which include:
- timelines of the elements of hip-hop in Chicago
- maps of significant locations
- a blog about our research and events related to Chicago hip-hop
- a digital encyclopedia (this site) designed to provide a comprehensive and organized overview of Chicago hip-hop history.
- a project to update a variety of Wikipedia pages related to Chicago hip-hop
We aim to serve the demand for quality information on topics not on Wikipedia due to notoriety constraints. 180 of the pages in this encyclopedia also have a cooresponding article on Wikipedia. Currently this encyclopedia includes 1700 unique pages on emcees, DJs, producers, street dancers, graffiti artists and many others members of the Chicago hip-hop community. Each page of this site presents concise, factual information on an entity or concept related to Chicago hip-hop history and is intended to be a starting point for further research.
