Hip-Hop, a storytelling art, is often mislabeled as unsophisticated entertainment, devaluing black history as a result.
Spotify creates a pop-up museum where hip hop artists guide visitors through the recorded history of Black America.
Spotify Presents: History Recorded.
The History Recorded Museum displays perspective-altering lyrics alongside relevant art, photography, and stories allowing visitors to come away with a new understanding of hip-hop and black history.
In the History Recorded Museum, visitors will learn how to listen to black art, enabling them to learn from it.
Subway posters will drive traffic to the museum.
