Teambackpack is the truest platform to showcase talented artists across all spectrums of hip-hop culture globally. We believe hip-hop is the most important idea for this generation in influencing positivity, self-awareness, and change throughout the world. We are the soapbox for hip-hop, consistently providing opportunities and experiences to the best hip-hop artists at every level, while connecting these artists to a growing community of viewers & listeners. Now peering into 2016, the world is ready for a change in the music industry. People are fed up with the same radio sensation cycles and are interested in learning and hearing music that they can connect to and are inspired by. While hip-hop is growing in every major city of the world, we are here to provide a look into whats REALLY happening in this new hip-hop generation. ## [**More Info Here**](http://www.teambackpack.net/2016-teambackpack-online-auditions/) *1.
