Internet been down all day so I aint been able to comment, but yes thanks big to everybody that came out and participated!
The turn out was OK. I aint gonna lie, the turnout was better than last week, but it still wasn't good. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, everybody who has come to these so far has enjoyed them greatly and taken away a lot of game.
It makes me very proud when the panels end and I see young artists going up to the panelists who have included me and are asking questions, getting phone numbers and internet contacts, exchanging cd's, etc. That is the key to this industry, NETWORKING!!!
Thanks to the established Industry People who came out and lended their time and suppor to this event, including:
Mac & A.K.
Cognito
Kontac
Rap 4 Rights
Shame
T-K.A.S.H.
Dutch

Daddy Rich of Savage Life
myself C-4
and others I know I'm forgetting
and thanks to the up and coming artists and producers, label owners, etc. who came out and participated.
People need to understand how important this is, this has a LOT of great potential to GROW.
and those that did come, DONT BE SHY, when those panels are going, that is INFORMATION FOR YOU! get on the fuckin' mic and ask a question, if you got a question, please believe that 5 other people in the room have that same question. it's a learning process, this is an industry that you never stop learning in.
Keep your eyes and ears peeled for details for next week, it's already in motion!
