Rock The Bells and Ford Motor Company have teamed up for ‘Rock The Campus’ to champion the merger of hip-hop and higher education in support of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The new content campaign features platinum-selling rapper and HBCU alum 2 Chainz in a special performance at his alma mater, Alabama State University as part of Ford’s Accelerating Brilliance HBCU Tour this fall.
For his dynamic Homecoming performance that boasted a special appearance from The Marching Hornets of ASU, 2 Chainz and his emerging artist Skooly arrived on campus in an all-new 2024 Ford Mustang. To mark the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, ASU transformed their Department of Theatre Arts into a hip-hop themed time capsule.

This year, Ford launched the Accelerating Brilliance HBCU Tour to celebrate the power of HBCUs to ignite creativity to shape a brighter future for all. Visiting Alabama A&M University, Alabama State University, and Hampton University for their Homecoming celebrations, Ford donated $10,000 to each HBCU to support their students with essential academic resources, including textbooks, meal plans, and vital electronic devices for a total contribution of $30,000.
