Nashville may be the Music City, but Memphis is the heart and soul of music itself. The fact that it’s home to so many different styles is what makes it so great. One of the greatest sounds to come out of Memphis is hip hop, which will be highlighted at the Memphis Hip Hop Expo this Labor Day Weekend in Memphis, of course.

Over the course of four days, the Memphis Hip-Hop Weekend/Memphis Hip-Hop Expo will bring on a number of activities ranging from a 2 day expo with a variety of entertainment, live music performances, a music & art showcase, conferences, fashion showcase, tattoo ink show, South In Yo Mouth Food Taster, local celebrity sports competitions and more.

It’s basically Hip-Hop Weekend in Memphis; the Hip-Hop Expo is running from September 2nd to September 5th. The expo is taking place at the Memphis Cook Convention Center while the rest of the events are scattered. A big event at the expo is the Celebrity Baseball Game. It will be on September 5th at Willow Park. You can RSVP to the event at Eventbrite.com. After the game, you can look your flyest and head out to the Hip Hop Weekend After Party Labor Day Celebration. The location is TBA, so keep your eyes on the Expo website for details.

Hip-hop is alive!
