Landmarks Illinois Program Manager Leila Wills joins Brian Gorman, one of the co-founders of the Chicago Hip Hop Heritage Museum, to talk about the city's impact on hip hop music, celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2023.

The Chicago Hip Hop Heritage Museum celebrates, honors, and cherishes the community that nurtured collective talents and creative energies within the elements of Hip Hop. In June 2021, Custom Resources, the ChiRock Nation (Chicago Respect Our Creative Kids/Kings), and Diverse City collaborated to create the Chicago Hip Hop Heritage Museum to commemorate the 18th annual Hip Hop Heritage Month in July as designated by the City of Chicago. The exhibit opened July 3rd, 2021. Carrico Kingdom Sanders being Vice President of Chi Rock Nation, a board member of Custom Resources NFP, and a Director at Diverse City had the vision to form the partnership. He brought the idea to former Dunbar High school classmate and President of ChiRock Nation Darrell Artistic Roberts and former Columbia College and President of Custom Resources and Diverse City Brian Gorman. Together Roberts, Sanders, and Gorman curated decades of photos, flyers, and other memorabilia mostly from their personal collections as well as items loaned to enhance the exhibit. As featured on Eye on Chi, a Birdsview Production directed by Torrence Smith.

Chicago Hip Hop Legend Kingdom Rock interviews Captain Skyy, a pioneer responsible for the sound of Hip Hop. We all know the stories about the birth of Hip Hop, but what is not told is that they were spinning Captain Skyy breaks. Kingdom Korna is Executive Produced by Brian Gorman of Diverse City. The interview takes place at the Chicago Hip Hop Heritage Museum and effort of Kingdom Rock Productions, Diverse City, Chi-Rock Nation, and Custom Resources.
