Who This Workshop Is For
The Golden Era of Hip Hop workshop is perfect for smaller, more intimate corporate groups who want the most immersive cultural experience we offer. It's ideal for technology, AI, software, and biotech teams of 8 to 24 people. Small enough that everyone gets hands-on time with the turntables and Akai MPC.
This workshop works especially well for leadership teams, executive offsites, creative departments, and groups that want something genuinely different from standard team building. No hip hop knowledge needed. Just curiosity and team work.
What Corporate Teams Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need any hip hop knowledge or experience?
None at all. Whether you're a lifelong hip hop fan or completely new to the culture, our artists guide everyone through each element. The only requirement is showing up ready to have fun.
What exactly happens during the workshop?
The 90 minutes covers three elements of hip hop culture, sorry no breakdancing. Graffiti tagging (you create your own tag and a group artwork), DJ scratching on vinyl turntables, and beat production on the legendary Akai MPC drum machine. It wraps with a crew battle finale where teams perform a 30-second routine.
Why is this workshop limited to 8–24 guests?
The intimate group size is intentional. Everyone gets hands-on time with the turntables and Akai MPC before creating a beat together. It's not a watching experience, it's a doing experience. For larger groups we recommend our Art of Graffiti workshop which scales to 500+ guests.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend at least 2 weeks notice for this workshop. Because of the intimate group size it fills up quickly.
Where does it take place?
At our Downtown SF location at 401 Bush Street, San Francisco CA 94108. Steps from Montgomery Street BART and next to several restuarants and bars.
What's included in the price?
Everything. Artist instruction, all materials, use of turntables and Akai MPC, graffiti supplies, setup and cleanup. No hidden fees.
