The LEGENDS OF CHICAGO HIP HOP MOVEMENT was created in 2012 by King Of Poetry Blaq Ice, one of the Legendary Chicago rappers, formerly known as Ice Cold The Ultimate Warrior. The idea was inspired from his P.O.E.T Movement, which is an artist/activist movement dedicated to using it's art for activism work.

Blaq Ice would share his idea with his big brother in Hip Hop JMD aka Mr. Club Banga and found out that he was thinking of a similar idea.

They would soon collaborate and become co-founders of the LEGENDS OF CHICAGO HIP HOP MOVEMENT.

The Legends of Chicago Hip Hop is made up of Rappers, DJ's, Dancers, Graffiti Artists, Poets and is broken into 3 components. The Pioneers, who are those that were on the Hip Hop scene before 1980, the Legends, who are those that were on the scene between 1980-1990 and the Vanguards who were on the scene between 1991-1995. These make up the LEGENDS OF CHICAGO HIP HOP MOVEMENT.

Our mission is to archive the history of Chicago Hip Hop while saving the youth by teaching them a better way to express themselves through art as an alternative to violence.
