We've been on the forefront of hip hop, rap, R&B and old-school events for over a decade.

Fortunately, the team at Metro has the secret sauce that will keep your costs low and risks under control. From small intimate bar events to A-list arena sell-outs, Metro has the knowledge and skill to partner with you so that you can focus on what you do best - throwing successful events.

Carriers have learned that "urban" (we hate that word) events like hip hop, rap, R&B and trap have a key liability marker that affects the likelihood of a claim. The artists. Who you have performing will play a big part in your ability to obtain good insurance. Have the artists ever been charged with felonies? Do they talk about violence, racism and sexism? Have they had problems at past events? Do they encourage bad behavior? If you're new to this, check out our guide below for a crash course in Hip Hop Insurance.
