1. J Dilla.
H₂CV is a social project as well as an annual Music, Art, Dance, and Film Festival or MADFF, which aims to bring people of all ages and social classes together to enjoy the positive nature of hip hop culture while demystifying the notion that all people who listen to hip hop or rap are “thugs, criminals, and drug addicts.” H₂CV celebrates the four subcultures of the Hip Hop Culture: DJing, MCing,
breakdancing and graffiti art. H₂CV also includes filmmaking in its mission to further facilitate their storytelling of young Africans in the world.

The inspiration for H₂CV dates back to the day Nuno Mirana and Jacob Cullen met two years ago. Nuno is from Cape Verde and Jacob Cullen is from Detroit, MI USA. While home during his break from university in China, Nuno walked by me at a gym in Praia when Jacob was listening to some Dilla beats on his phone. Nuno turned and asked Jacob, “Yo, you like J Dilla?” Jacob said, “Yup!” and they became brothers from another mother. In time, we decided to do something about their love for Dilla's music and be proactive by starting a hip hop movement to honor the life and work of the man that sparked their friendship. J Dilla.
Ês inspirason di H₂CV dja ten dos anu, kandu
Jacob Cullen i Nuno Miranda nkontra di primeru bez. Nuno ê di Kabu Verdi i Jacob Cullen ê di Detroit, Michigan E.U.A. Kandu Nuno ben di feria di universidadi na Xina, el entra na gim na Praia kandu Jacob staba ta obiba bitz di Dilla. Nuno bira i perguntal, "Yo, abo ta kurti J Dilla?" Jacob flal, "Ayan!" i es bira broda di petu. Tenpu pasa i es disidi fazi algun kuza sobri nos paixon pa musika di Dilla i bira proativu pa kumesa un muvimentu di hip hop pa fazi homenaji di vida i obra di homi ki sendi ses amizadi. Cabo Verde is a wonderful and beautiful place that continues to grow and get better every single day. It's developing well as a Middle Income Country , however with that development comes an increase in crime, while the country maintains a high level of youth unemployment. Instead of continuing to fight against crime with more police; H₂CV is taking a different approach. H₂CV believes that creativity and access to educational/work opportunities are the tools needed to not only fight crime, but prevent it. The arts, not fists, knives and guns. Kabu Verdi ê un kau rei di sabi i ta ba ta fika mas grandi i mas midjor tudu dia. Ê sta dizinvolvi fixi sima Paiz di Rendimentu Mediu, ma ku kel dizinvilvimentu ta ben mas krimi i kandu dizimpregu pa joven sta manti altu. En bez di, bata luta kontra krimi ku mas pulisia; H₂CV sta toma otu atitudi. H₂CV ta kredita ki krietividadi i asusu di opurtunidadi di edukason/trabadju ê ka so faramenta nesisariu pa luta kontra krimi, ma el podi privini krimi. Arti; ka mon fitxadu, faka i boka bedju.
