Hip-hop leaders in Richmond have launched the Virginia Hip-Hop Foundation, aiming to spotlight the state’s contributions to the culture. With legends like Missy Elliott, Clipse, Pharrell, and Timbaland — plus emerging stars like Luh Kiddo — the foundation hopes to secure Virginia’s rightful place in hip-hop history. Planned exhibits, panels, and community events will shine a light on how the state has shaped the sound and future of rap.
