The International Indigenous Hip Hop Awards Show movement aims to increase the national and international exposure of Indigenous urban arts performers and small businesses through live music engagement and educational conferences. Through the execution of a music conference followed by an awards show, we shed light on the movers and shakers who are helping shape our urban economy. The IHHAS is excited to celebrate and acknowledge the dedication, community impact, and artistic merit of export-ready Indigenous hip hop artists, singers, visual artists, spoken word poets, producers, deejays & more that all make up the Indigenous urban entertainment culture. This is the first year for this one of a kind awards show.
