We believe that those closest to the problem are closest to the solution. That's why we work with a diverse group of young people, families, educators, and artists to create music, videos, and resources that relate to a range of audiences and inspire action. All of our work is backed by science, free, and flexibly designed for education, home, and community use.

Multimedia Resources
The Learning Studio features a vast library containing over 200 multimedia resources. These assets are meant to inspire, empower, and educate young people to develop essential health literacy knowledge and skills.
We believe that with the right tools, these future leaders can serve as intergenerational advocates for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Thanks to our innovative Multisensory Multilevel Health Education Model, we've been able to create original hip hop tracks and videos in collaboration with iconic artists that promote overall wellbeing and help combat toxic stress. These projects tackle topics from movement and nutrition to mindfulness, positive health practices, and more.
Additionally, we offer Educator Toolkits with lesson plans and wraparound materials that make it easy and fun to integrate our resources into health education. Developed by educators for educators, our Toolkits are standards-based and flexibly designed for use in a wide range of K-12 learning environments.
Ambassador Program
Hip Hop Public Health MCs are transforming health education and building health literacy one beat at a time.
Our Health MCs Ambassador Program provides educators with the tools to bring fun and effective health education to young people in a range of learning environments – in-school, out-of-school, community settings, summer camp and more. We support Health MCs with free, easy-to-use, adaptable resources that engage and inspire young people to be changemakers in their communities.
Tackling health disparities requires a multigenerational effort, and our Health MCs show the power of health leaders of all ages to improve outcomes for historically underserved groups. Sign up to join the Health MC community and to access our full collection of Educator Toolkits!
Speaker Series
Lingering stigma, especially in under-represented communities keeps many people from seeking the help that they need.
While public awareness of the risks around unchecked or ignored health issues—especially mental health—is at a global high, we're also faced with significant inequities when it comes to accessible and culturally competent care. These barriers that prevent individuals or their loved ones from seeking treatment can isolate them even more—worsening their condition, and even becoming life-threatening.
Hip Hop Public Health’s original speaker series, Moving The Needle: One Conversation at a Time, features candid conversations among musicians, community leaders, and health professionals. They explore public health issues, share lived experiences, and provide insights on how they cope through their mental health and wellness journeys.
Campaigns & Collabs
What good is our message if we don’t amplify it together?
That's why partnerships that utilize our unique health communication approach generate initiatives that get results. We collectively understand that connecting our shared resources is crucial to achieve health equity.
