This is a hip hop arts and culture party thrown by the Hip Hop & The Politics of Race FIG that celebrates hip hop culture: emceeing, dance, graffiti writing, DJing, and beatmaking. The Jam is organized by 20 first-year students, their FAs, and a faculty member. This year we’re featuring a talented line-up of Portland artists (Mic Capes, Jordan Fletcher, Sotaè, Justice Gbada, MLTZR), Andrew Kai (a UO students), and hip hop dance/bboy/bgirl action from UO’s Duck Street Dance Club and Flock Rock. The event will be hosted by UO Women’s Basketball play Sedona Prince and will feature live graffiti painting by Tasko. There is an 80s/90s hip hop dress theme with prizes for flyest style.
