Hip-hop Events in Manchester

Hip-hop encompasses everything from old-school boom bap to modern trap and drill. The culture — MCing, DJing, breaking, graffiti — started in the Bronx in the 70s and became the dominant force in global music. Hip-hop nights range from block-party vibes with classic cuts to nights focused on the latest UK and US releases.
