Welcome to the Warrior Hip-Hop Tour fundraising page! The purpose of this tour is to begin to build a culture of resistance through hip hop and art, and to inspire and educate others through hip hop all throughout Turtle Island.
This tour is bringing together conscious rebel artists from areas now known as new york, washington, arizona and southern cali.
