Maintaining our focus on representing talented creatives from varied backgrounds - we present a fusion of music, dance and art in an immersive production, activating all of the senses.

We encourage our audience to become more involved and active at our events, and provide some base for creative nurture. We want to grow a hub/ community that can come together in a collective fashion to advance change.

This will be a daytime event, incorporating art curation, live performance, visual entertainment, dance and music – a spectacle for all senses!!

The Diggin' in the Crates Crew, also known as D.I.T.C., is an American hip hop collective formed in 1990 in New York City. The collective's name derives from the act of seeking out records to sample for production. The collective is composed of Big L, Lord Finesse, Diamond D, O.C., Fat Joe, Buckwild, Showbiz and A.G. Its members have achieved substantial and consistent recognition in underground rap circles, having often collaborated with undiscovered talents and underground artists alongside the most commercial of rappers.

In 1989, Finesse and his former partner DJ Mike Smooth signed with Wild Pitch Records, home of other popular hip hop artists such as Gang Starr, Main Source, Chill Rob G, Percee P and O.C. In 1990 Finesse formed the New York underground crew D.I.T.C., an acronym for "Diggin In The Crates", together with Showbiz & A.G. and Diamond D.
In 1995, he produced a big portion of Big L's debut album Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, including the single "M.V.P." He returned as an artist in 1996 with The Awakening.
