THE BOSTON HIP-HOP ALLIANCE
Vision. Visibility. Voice.
What is the Boston Hip-Hop Alliance?
The Boston Hip-Hop Alliance (BHHA) serves as an additional resource and
conduit for those who are involved with the growing Hip-Hop Scene in Boston.
Since its October, 2004 inception, we've built many valuable relationships
in support of other organizations, and have started to develop our own
programs as well. Education, artist services, artist development, and
community support stand as our main focus points for 2005-2006.
The goal of the BHHA is not financial, though we hope that networking and
collaborations will allow all of us to prosper of course! We work toward the
improvement of the experience of Boston-based Hip-Hop professionals, both in Boston and in the entertainment industry as a whole.
We seek not only to befriend established organizations, but to also
contribute to this community. We plan to consistently find and nurture
opportunities that bridge gaps and facilitate working relationships among
entities whenever possible. We hope is to partner with various
organizations, offering support in whatever way feasible, and also to design
our own programming as well.
We seek to serve as an education source about the Music Industry, and to
assist in the professional and artistic development of our members whenever
feasible. We seek to provide an additional exchange for people to find
resources that support their own project goals.
The BHHA's model is a concourse, where people can easily locate many
independently-operating businesses, talent, and services from a vast array
of professional pursuits. We want to FUEL the efforts of other
organizations, not disrupt or compete. We are a collective with a common
goal improve the experience of Boston's Hip-Hop professionals, and to
increase our visibility and voice.
The Boston Hip-Hop Alliances Fundamental Truths

and related artists and service professionals (Resources include but are

members, professional development, and the Community Directory - in
progress.)

projects of others, so that we can have diversified programming happening
among and initiated by our members at the same time (to create an even
larger and stronger front in the city.)

time, we design a community fabric from the wide variety of threads
5. Membership is free and voluntary. Level of involvement is also up to you.
