Philippines
In March 2023, five Hip Hop artists traveled to Manila, Philippines, as part of the Next Level program. Artist-educators AQ (MC), D-Cross (Beatboxer), Knockers (DJ), and Sanchel Brown (Dancer) joined Site Manager Big Piph to perform for audiences and collaborate with local artists to promote cross-cultural creative exchange and conflict transformation. Team Philippines is part of a larger Next Level cohort of American MCs, DJs, beatmakers, and Hip Hop dancers seeking to create a global community through Hip Hop culture.
