Hip Hop Stamps

Hip Hop Stamps
Forever 82¢ | Sheet Stamp Format

In 2020, the U.S. Postal Service celebrated hip hop. Since its inception more than four decades ago, the electrifying music, dance, and art movement has profoundly influenced American and global popular culture.

This pane of 20 stamps features Cade Martin’s photographs depicting four elements of hip hop: MCing (rapping), b-boying (break dancing), DJing, and graffiti art. The bold, digitally tinted images on the stamps are intended to appear in motion. There are five stamps of each design. The words “Forever” and “USA,” “Hip Hop,” and the name of the element featured appear across the top of each stamp. Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamps, which are highlighted with a vivid yellow, green, red, and black color scheme.

The Hip Hop stamps are issued as Forever® stamps. These Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
