On Aug. 12, the Atlanta Beltline and event production company RAPPORT presented ATL Park Jam, which included a family-friendly event hosted by Mike Sick.
The day-long extravaganza helped to mark the 50th year of hip-hop, which was originally founded on Aug. 11, 1973.
ATL Park Jam consisted of a dance battle presented by RedBull and Innerflow Studios, an HBCU drumline presentation, a women’s only rap cypher, and a Cultural Catalyst awards presentation to the James Brown Estate and the “Mother of Rap” Millie Jackson. The event also highlighted the intersectionality of sustainability and culture, alongside Atlanta’s strong community-driven identity.
Most attendees showed up in their most creative hip-hop fashion while remaining true to themselves. The main looks consisted of distressed T-shirts highlighting some of the best artists and record labels in the music industry.
Here were the best hip-hop fashion looks from the event.
