Gift of Music - Holiday Hip-Hop Fundraiser

  • HOME 615 Main Street Nashville, TN, 37206 United States (map)

The Helping Music Foundation is throwing down a game-changing holiday party, the "Gift of Music" fundraiser, on Friday, December 8, 2023, from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. This isn't just any artist showcase; it's a hip-hop community gathering! 💙 Making an Impact with Every Beat At the heart of it all is the Helping Music Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to giving talented artists the break they deserve. Picture this: a 12-month journey where artists are loaded up with everything they need – studios, rehearsal space, guidance, connections, resources – you name it - that's the Elite Artist Accelerator, the foundation's flagship program. They’re all about celebrating diversity and pushing unique talents to the top. Know someone who should apply for the accelerator? Send them here: https://www.helpingmusic.org/accelerator

🎤 A Night Dedicated to Hip-Hop It’s a holiday party with a hip-hop twist. Four local heavy hitters are taking the stage:

  • Nate Rose – The James Bond of rap who's blowing up the internet.

  • R.A.P. Ferreira – The lyrical genius who’ll make you think.

  • Tim Gent – The authentic poet crafting Nashville's hip-hop legacy.

  • Lord Goldie – The trap-jazz innovator who blends organic beats with real talk.

But wait, there’s more... 

Up-and-coming hip-hop artists are going to throw down their best tracks, battling it out for a golden ticket to our Elite Artist Accelerator. And you? You’re the judge. Your vote decides who gets a full year of resources to level up their game.
