 Vibe with us this month as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop with performances by Maimouna “Mu Mu Fresh” Youssef and WhoCamille, a discussion on the five elements of hip hop, and a pop-up art show.   Baltimore-born and D.C.-raised, Grammy®-nominated singer Maimouna Youssef blends gospel, jazz, soul, and hip hop to encourage listeners to believe in their own potential. Mumu Fresh has toured internationally as a critically acclaimed Afro-Indigenous singer, MC, songwriter, activist, workshop facilitator, and audio engineer who’s been called a “quadruple threat” by The Roots’ Black Thought and “groundbreaking” by Oscar-winning artist Common. Mumu Fresh’s music and philanthropic endeavors has been featured in publications such as Variety, Ebony, Essence, BET, NPR, Al-Jazeera, Afro Punk & more. Maimouna has also served as a mentor for several Grammy U-affiliated young aspiring artists.   

 From the 410 to the A, WhoCamille has become a name to remember. The Maryland native is showing the world who WhoCamille is! Not only can she carry a melody in her music, but she’ll tear a 16-bar verse to pieces when she gets behind the mic.  Since dropping her debut EP ‘Copper and Carbon’ in 2019, WhoCamille has gone nowhere but up, making music for the daydreamers, paper-chasers, and passionate people. Winning the nationwide jingle contest for world-renowned restaurant Slutty Vegan in 2020 turned into WhoCamille being the first artist on Slutty Productions. She’s opened for some of the biggest names in music including Lil Baby, Moneybagg Yo, King Combs, and more. Appealing to fans all over the country and obtaining coverage from HypeBae, Creative Loafing Tampa Bay, Bedroom Barz with Sway and more, WhoCamille is WHO you need to know.
