Driving Our Pursuit of Excellence (DOPE) Movement

“Our culture is a global resource, let’s not play ourselves and wake up one day and not own our own culture. Tighten up on your contracts, tighten up on your deals. Demand ownership. Demand equity. Protect your culture. IT’S FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY BUT FOR US TO OWN!”

-Diddy

The DOPE Kid 

The Dope Kid, LLC is a children’s media and entertainment company. Our focus is to create hip hop themed children’s books and music. We are a part of a movement that will move “the culture” and American culture to extraordinary new heights.  It is time for “the culture” to incorporate more educational topics in our music and literature for children of “the culture” on a global scale.   

The Dope Kid Festival is an annual book and music festival that promotes literacy through books and beats. It utilizes Hip Hop as a way to promote a love for reading, writing, and rapping for the youth. This festival elevates the voices of individuals that specialize in children’s hip hop music.  It also illuminates literary artist that focus on children of color. The time has come to move the culture FORWARD for the next generation of Hip Hop heads.
