About Us
Our History
Renegades of Funk is a Chicago-based nonprofit group made up entirely of volunteers dedicated to preserving, learning, and teaching Chicago hip hop culture. To promote hip hop culture, we collaborate with local artists, companies, and community organizations. We bring multigenerational communities together to showcase their talent and preserve it for the future.
Our Mission
Renegades of Funk is a Chicago-based nonprofit hip-hop organization. Our mission is conserving, learning and teaching the hip-hop culture for the future generations, so they may be able to experience and learn about the history from pioneers who came before them. We are dedicated to bringing interest, inspiration, and value to the whole community. Drawing from the early years of Chicago hip-hop, we aspire to continue building a bridge between hip-hop culture and the Chicago community.
