Experience the Legacy. Witness the Process. Be Part of the Culture.
What happens when the revolutionary spirit of Little Richard meets the art of hip-hop production?
The Rich Flip is where hip-hop production, visual art, and cultural history collide.
Presented by acclaimed artist Kevin "SCENE" Lewis featuring BeatKonductaz, this immersive cultural arts experience celebrates the groundbreaking legacy of Macon's own Little Richard by reimagining his influence through sampling, beat making, visual storytelling, and creative expression.
More than an event, The Rich Flip is a living tribute connecting generations of artists, musicians, producers, DJs, visual artists, educators, and music lovers through the universal language of rhythm and creativity.
Little Richard forever changed popular music. His fearless originality laid the foundation for rock & roll while influencing funk, soul, gospel, and eventually hip-hop. Every sample, every drum break, every producer pushing creative boundaries owes something to the spirit of innovation he embodied.
The Rich Flip celebrates that legacy—not by looking backward, but by carrying it forward.
