A private dining experience unlike anything else in DC. 16 guests. A chef-prepared three-course meal. Live music. Real conversation. Recorded for podcast and YouTube. Available monthly.

DC's premier cultural festival — live performances, classes, creative workshops, vendor marketplace, and panel discussions celebrating the art and culture of Hip Hop.
Creative Services and Events
Upcoming experiences to attend and creative services available to book — all powered by the Riddim And Poetry network.
Powered by Purpose. Amplified by Partnership. Backed by the People
RAP is powered by community and brought to life by partners who believe in culture with intention. Our creative spaces engage thousands of guests each year through meaningful, in-home experiences. Partner with us—and let the voices of our guests tell the rest.
Partner With UsAI replaces personality. RAP makes us more human.
We build spaces where culture lives, dinners where conversations matter, and experiences you cannot get from an algorithm. The next chapter is the RAP Creative Complex — a boutique hotel and creative hub where artists and guests live, create, and connect. This is the future of Riddim And Poetry — and it is just getting started.
