It’s hard to live in the Madison area without noticing hip-hop’s growing influence.
Teens participate in spoken word clubs in Madison’s biggest high schools; UW-Madison’s breakdance club has been busting moves since it began in 2002; commercial radio, including WJQM 106.7-FM “Jamz,” fill the airwaves with hip hop; and businesses such as Middleton’s Blue Chalk Club showcase DJs and MCs on a regular basis.
