Nearly every Richmond-area newsroom — and the Washington Post — found fascinating stories to tell about RVA Rapper's Delight: Richmond Celebrates 50 Years of Hip-Hop. Media placements for our client spanned print, radio, television, digital, podcasts, and social media influencers. We're grateful!

Thank you Richmond for packing the Hippodrome. Thank you to the Richmond artists who broke ground, led the way and continue to inspire.

Thank you Mayor Levar Stoney for attending the event and coming onstage to deliver his proclamation declaring Aug. 11 as Richmond Hip-Hop Day.

Thank you to curator Ant The Symbol, host Mike Street Show, performers Nickelus F, Noah-O, Radio B, Cane Isthename, Reppa Ton and DJ HipHop Henry, with Michael Millions, Big No and others. Supported by 106.5 The Beat.

None of it could've happened without Shockoe Records and its team stepping up a few months ago. They knew this was a moment that needed celebrating in Richmond — and they made it happen. Thanks to Craig Martin, Carlos Chafin, Reese Williams and your team.

Will Ishiphop and his Themsqshop and I were proud to work together on this event, supplying public relations, graphic design and content marketing services.
