In a statement Walter Brock, director and co-founder of CrossOvr Media says that Hip-Hop fans and fans of football share a similar passion. "Over the past 50 years, Hip-Hop has evolved into the leading genre globally and is integrated into every aspect of the football experience. Recording artists, football players and fans share the same competitive spirit, hustle and grit necessary to perform on the world’s largest stages and in life.”
