DeLeón sought a bold, culturally relevant way to connect with VICE’s diverse, music-savvy audience while honoring the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. The objective was to authentically celebrate the genre's legacy while spotlighting its future through rising talent, uncharted sounds, and creative innovation.
