Today, we’re proud to recognize Hip-Hop Celebration Day! Every August 11th, people gather to honor Hip-Hop culture, embracing its music, dance, fashion, and the many elements that define it. Hip-Hop's roots can be traced back to the 1970s, when the talented duo of D.J. Kool Herc and Cindy Campbell began hosting DJ parties in the Bronx, New York. Since then, Hip-Hop has evolved and expanded, becoming a powerful form of self-expression and more than a music genre. Check out our National Hip-Hop Month playlist featuring some of the most streamed Hip-Hop songs by our #BMIFamily by clicking the ‘Spotify’ link in our bio. 💙🎶

Our President/CEO, Mike O’Neill on the NO FAKES Act: Music creators have always embraced new technologies to help make their art. The use of Generative AI tools will be no different. However, protections are needed to ensure that creators’ intellectual property, voice, image, and likeness are not used without their permission. BMI is grateful that Christopher Coons, Marsha Blackburn, Senator Klobuchar, and Thom Tillis recognize the importance of this and have taken action by introducing the NO FAKES Act. We look forward to working with them and our friends in the music community to protect our songwriters and composers from the unethical use of AI.
