Welcome to Rap Joint Lagos for the experienceof #RetroHiphop and #VintageLagos. Our site and space offers histories, memories, profiles, tributes, and features on the culture of Lagos and rap music from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, so that you can relive the moments that shaped the culture in Lagos and around the world. Every piece of content is carefully curated to give direct links to the people and places behind the moment, and the music, culture and style that evolved as a result.

Rap Joint Lagos (RJL) is a contemporary cultural centre where everyone, from aficionados to curious cats, come to relax and share intimate experiences about rap music and the life and style around it. Conceived on the beauty and energy that hip-hop inspires in the City of Lagos, RJL offers visitors (both online and physically) the opportunity to explore the genre’s philosophical and socio-political depth from a uniquely Lagosian perspective.

Through our physical space and online store, we offer a rare hiphop and Lagos cultural centre with a hiphop themed restaurant;bookstore/record store with one of the largest collection of hiphop and Lagos books; listening point where donated hiphop albums can be enjoyed at no cost; a listening lounge with an exclusive listening club, which is opened to the public at intervals; and, a resident hiphop and Lagos centric book club(Renegade) and history society.  We also stock merchandise and memorabilia for the promotion of retro hip hop and vintage Lagos. We also offer membership subscriptions, which gives you discounts on store items, access to exclusive virtual and in-person live show including membership of our Hiphop and Lagos centric book club(Renegade) and history society (Lagos & Hiphop History Society).

By setting the right vibe with album listening events, open mics, lyrical dialogues, books about rap, Lagos lifestyle and culture, as well as local and international politics, our website, social media platforms and our Ikoyi, Lagos, location offers a vibrant and safe venue both conceptually and physically. The space also hosts tribute for selected departed rappers, album anniversaries, hiphop meets fashion shows and many other events to promote hiphop and Lagos

We launched officially with a successful kickstarter, during the height of the pandemic lockdown, that saw over 50 backers from Lagos, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Atlanta, helped us raise $4000+ to build a vibrant community online. We are infinitely grateful for their support and the memories they shared to help us shape our vidsion for #RetroHiphop and #VintageLagos.
