6th Annual Latin Rap Conference this November in Los Angeles, CA
LATIN RAP CONFERENCE 2008 IS THE 6TH ANNUAL EVENT IN THIS AMAZING SERIES
AND IT IS GETTING BIGGER AND STRONGER WITH EVERY YEAR.
Latin Rap Conference is very proud to announce that for 2008, the 6th Annual event is returning to Los Angeles for its biggest and most powerful convention to date. LRC will make history with the first ever LRC Latino Hip-Hop Awards Show. This unprecedented show will include special guest appearances and live performances and tributes as well as awards and educational vignettes, including a short presentation on the history of Latinos in Hip-Hop music, by the Hip-Hop icon Fabel Pabon.
LRC will also have its usual seminar discussions and panel forums throughout the days of the conference, keeping its winning format alive and strong. These informative and compelling seminars, including discussions on Radio, Videos and Television, Internet Marketing and Promotions, Publishing, …etc., have had a tremendous impact on the music industry. For 2008, LRC is bringing in some major players from the music world, as panelists and guest speakers, to raise the bar even higher and make LRC the premier event for the Hip-Hop industry. Panels will include such great names as Chuck D (Public Enemy) and the always outspoken KRS-ONE.
The Latin Rap Conference is the only major music industry convention focusing specifically on the growth, education and empowerment of the Latino Hip-Hop genre (including Reggaeton music). To that end, LRC decided to elect a new Chairman of the Board to oversee every detail of this tremendously important conference. For 2008, LRC is excited to announce that the new Chairman is the Godfather of Latin Hip-Hop himself, Mellow Man Ace. “There is no one better on the planet for this position and his endless dedication to this cause is a testament to his immense love for Hip-Hop and his Latino heritage and culture,” said Jesse Perez pka Shysti, founder and organizer of LRC. Notable new additions to the LRC Board of Directors include Tony Touch and DJ Johnny Juice.
The overall mission of Latin Rap Conference (LRC) is to educate, empower and create a forum and network for high-quality business and market progress. The goal is to continue the movement towards the advancement and solidarity of Latino people in the Music Industry and in all aspects of today’s global economy. LRC also works hard to unify artists and companies in an effort to promote positive images in the media for Latino youth. LRC aims to move, touch, and inspire through the powerful tool that is music.
