Supporting artists on their roads to success.

 

Verses Project was founded in 2020 as a memorial tribute to Jason "Vice Verses" Williams, a hip hop pioneer who passed away in April 2020. Vice encouraged and inspired all those around him, both artistically and on a personal level. Our goal at Verses Project is to continue to sow the seeds he planted through our support of aspiring artists.

The Opportunity

Verses Project has established a grant program in support of hip hop artists. The grant program is designed to help qualified artists succeed in their craft, providing funds which can be used to cover any costs directly related to completing a project (e.g., studio time, equipment, classes, etc.). Through Verses Project we hope to help Vice's legacy live on and continue to grow.

Round 2 of the Verses Project Grant Program awarded grants to emerging hip hop artists nationwide. 3 grant recipients received up to $1,000 each to support their upcoming projects.

The Grant challenge

Verses Project is accepting submissions from hip hop artists across the United States to help advance a project they are currently working on. The goal of the Verses Project Grant is to close a gap that has been a barrier to an artist’s ability to progress in their music career. Financial support, up to $1,000 per award, can be used to cover any expenses directly associated with advancing the artist’s project.
