Since starting the festival back in 2004 RISING STYLES has covered many events and have met some incredible artists from across the UK and internationally.  Starting the festival was an ambition to support UK Hip Hop in all its forms.  We had a bloody good time over the years trying to make the impossible happen with an amazing team of volunteers each year.  With that has come many financial demands to keep the festival going but this is just unobtainable given the funding system these days.  Also, there are organisations / groups / individuals out there doing a far better job of delivery in their own right who we are more than happy to support.

Please continue to keep Rising Styles alive through the website and the Facebook page. We will be keeping these alive to carry on letting you all know of all the amazing Hip Hop things going on across the globe.

Thanks,
The Rising Styles Team
