This hip-hop-themed mural, created by artist Artie Barksdale, adorns a building on Henderson Street. The creation of the mural coincided with the first-ever Hip Hop South Festival, hosted by Carolina Performing Arts in April 2022. The festival featured events on campus and in the surrounding community.
“The South Got Something to Say” is a quote from rapper/musician André 3000 of OutKast, which serves as the theme for the mural. The mural features images and icons of hip-hop music and culture, including a microphone, a demo tape, and a drum machine. The site of the mural on Henderson Street was chosen because it is near a former hip-hop club called “The Hideaway,” where many Southern musicians stopped while on tour.
