Who we are
The Universal Zulu Nation (UZN) is an international world Hip Hop movement founded by Afrika Bambaataa. We are a group of artists, performers and community activists who have created and used Hip Hop culture for over 40 years as a vehicle for positive change.  Initially the founding Kings and Queens wanted to bring about change in their communities however Hip Hop is now a global phenomenon. Using the motto Peace, Unity, Love and Having Fun, the Universal Zulu Nation continues to impact positively on our communities and especially youth and street culture.  The UZN believe there are 5 Elements in Hip Hop: Deejaying, BBoying, Rapping, Graffiti, Knowledge

Our Plans
In November we are planning to celebrate Hip Hop History month  as well as Hip Hop’s  41st anniversary. There will be a series of events in London and  Leeds  in celebration. These events will include workshops, performances and galleries. We will cover activities such as DJ academy mixing and scratching, dance, art and spoken word workshops. They will provide a platform for artists and teachers to engage/lead the workshops and for the general community to attend the workshops and performances.
