Hip-hop is an expression of energy, passion and positivity. It is not just a genre, but a whole culture with its own style, fashion, and music devoted to love, peace, unity, and fun. Hip-hop culture unites millions of people around the world. It creates a common space for communication, and youth development for people from all walks of life.
