The Temple of Hip Hop is a student-run organization that works with community partners to represent Hip Hop culture and to execute the annual International Hip Hop Festival.
Trinity’s Temple of Hip Hop is a chapter of the national Temple of Hip Hop organization, originally created by KRS-One. Trinity is the only chapter with a chapter on campus, and initially began executing the annual International Hip Hop festival as a response to “Hip Hop is Dead,” a record by Nas in 2006.
Our goal has remained the same since our conception: to promote positivity through Hip Hop and to showcase the impact that Hip Hop has had on a global scale.
The Trinity International Hip Hop Festival is a free music festival that brings together Hip Hop artists from around the world. Events are taking place at locations on campus and in Hartford.
