Founded by award wining Lecturer and Author, Adisa Banjoko and artist Leo “Blast” Libiran, the Hip-Hop Chess Federation (HHCF) uses music, chess and martial arts to promote unity, strategy and non-violence. The vision is rooted in the belief that our role is to provide an authentic platform that allows people the opportunity to actualize their dreams and hopes for themselves, their families and the communities they serve.
Along with recreational activities, the Hip Hop Chess Federation provides services such as life strategy workshops and sponsor supported education scholarships. Studies show chess provides invaluable life lessons such as patience, personal accountability, focus, emotional intelligence and understanding the consequences of your actions before you act.
After nearly two years in the making, the Hip Hop Chess Federation launched its nationwide tour on February 23, 2007 in San Jose, CA. Rappers, movie producers, mixed martial art (MMA) fighters and other entertainers volunteered their time to support the community, including world renowned DJ QBert, international chess Master Vinay Bhat, Casual from the legendary Hip-Hop group Hieroglyphics, award-winning filmmaker Kevin Epps and martial artists champions Denny Prokopos and Alan “Gumby” Marques. These names drew crowds from all over California, and overflowed the Martin Luther King Library beyond capacity.
