The Hip Hop Museum is built by, and built for, pioneers. We call people who were at the foundation of Hip Hop pioneers. We also attach this moniker to people who share and donate items they feel are valuable, meaningful, and powerful, and who want their legacy to be attached to the THHM.

From time to time, we spotlight these pioneers as we thank them for their generosity. If this moves you to donate to The Hip Hop Museum, click here to learn more, and click here to dialogue with us.

We feature each of these individuals for their contributions.

Enjoy, and thank you.
