The Hip Hop School of Arts is a unique performing arts, technical/trade program to transform each student creative energy into marketable skills through education, guidance and self-expression. We are a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) preventative outreach arts school where creativity, innovation, leadership, and community service are emphasized. A curriculum based on all the Elements of Hip Hop will be taught with programs and workshops year around by a qualified staff of industry veterans and professionals most of whom are innovators in their respective forms. After training at HHSA students are ready to go to work for many entertainment companies. Housed within a facility accessible to inner-city youth, the school includes dance studios, a professional Dj classes and a recording studio, a fully equipped computer lab, a Hip Hop library, souvenir store, as well as a multi-function dance hall.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, "During the last five years, there were over 23,000 verified violent gang crimes in the City of Los Angeles." The City has experienced "an epidemic of youth violence that has been rapidly spreading from the inner cities to the suburbs. Gangs are no longer just the problem of those who live in the crime ridden neighborhoods where the gangs thrive. They are now everyone's problem."

City officials have pledged in 2008 to better direct and expand the city's existing 23 gang prevention and intervention programs. Newly appointed Gang Reduction and Youth Development Director of Los Angeles Jeff Carr told a news conference, "We can't arrest our way out of this problem. We have got to figure out how to provide opportunities to communities who have been bypassed for years."
