The Big Pay Back is a significant phase of a larger project entitled Raw Talent: A Philadelphia Hip Hop Dance Documentary. It is designed to uncover the lost and forgotten pioneers in events, location, and archives to prove and finally document Philadelphia's vital contribution to Hip Hop Culture. They will interview some of Philadelphia's women pioneers in dance, djing, and emceeing, whose involvement has been pivotal, but they have received little to no recognition for their work.
