OUTFRONT Media's Hip Hop Campaign

The campaign includes a QR code leading users to curated playlists to experience personal reflections that may spark conversations about the genre and its impact on world culture.

In addition to the playlists, the QR codes will redirect users, offering them more opportunities to learn about the artists, their contributions, and the influence on each artist by their borough.

OUTFRONT Media said it chose to run the campaign in the subway system as it has set the stage for much of Hip Hop's cultural influence either through song lyrics or video content.
