The Collective for Independent Hip Hop

The Collective for Independent Hip Hop (CIH) is located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and represents the Research Triangle Area.

CIH exists to promote Independent Hip Hop in the Triangle Area; by pooling resources and making outreach to artists, the collective attempts to bring artists to the area who might not come otherwise.

CIH is a collective in the truest sense. Members have a democratic say in which artists CIH will extend outreach to. When an artists agrees to come to the Triangle, collective members jointly finance the artists guarantee. Collective members also work together to make the artists's stay more hospitable - this might include providing trips to and from the airport and hotels, suggesting restuarants for the artists's dietary needs, and whatever else might be needed. By working together, we can keep down costs and provide the artist with a comfortable visit.

Artists should be aware that the CIH only handles small-scale events; there are local promotion services for larger tours. Performance venues will be nontraditional, generally more intimate, allowing real audience-artist interaction. Artists should expect a warm audience, full of fans.
