Bringing MusiCares Foundation’s Humans of Hip Hop initiative to our hometown of Chicago was a highlight this year. 🎤 As we begin to reflect on 2024, we are proud of the impact we made and what we accomplished with our philanthropic partners to support our communities, our industries, and live event fans. Enjoy this look at the inspiring discussion that was held at Vivid Seats' headquarters on how to help rising artists and creators excel in the hip-hop community. Five Chicagoan creatives and mentors – Common, Christopher Crater from the Obama Foundation, Chris "Classick" Innumerable, Lupe Fiasco, and moderator Add-2 – shared their respective journeys, what they've learned along the way, and how the hip-hop community can continue to help new voices thrive.

🎉 We’re thrilled to share Jameson’s amazing wish journey! At just 9 years old and living with Sickle Cell Disease, he wished to go to a Bengals game. Thanks to the incredible support from the Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana chapter, Fanatics, and Vivid Seats, we turned that wish into reality! 🏈✨ Last Friday, Jameson and his family flew out to Ohio to gear up for the big game against the Ravens this past Sunday. On Saturday, they had an unforgettable experience watching practice and meeting some of Jameson’s favorite players, including Ja'Marr Chase! Here’s what his mom had to say about their magical day: “Jameson enjoyed himself; Saturday he got autographs from the team and had Ja'Marr Chase sign everything he had. He had the time of his life, and I know he’ll talk about this experience for a lifetime.”⭐ 💙
