Music is a form of art that millions of people around the world appreciate. In one way or another, it is a part of all of our lives. Hip Hop is one of the several genres of music that is shared and loved by many. Since the early 70s, the world has gotten a taste of hip hop and has since gone on to become one of the most popular forms of music today. Originally derived from Disco, it was then that the African American and Latino youth had something they were able to relate to during this time period.

Many artists such as DJ Kool Herc (also known as “the grandfather of hip hop”), Run DMC, and Dr. Dre are just a few who have all contributed to the hip hop culture as well as help it evolve as artists with their talents. There are many other artists who look up to them and hope to follow in their path, or even pave a path of their own. Scribble Jam was a festival that helped many of these aspiring artists become recognized. With over 10 years of competitions and many artists gaining the spotlight, Scribble Jam has gone from something that started off small and grew into an annual event that many individuals were able to look forward to and to showcase their talents to others.
