We recently organized an Urban Music Panel for Dr. Miyakawa’s Hip Hop Music & Culture class at MTSU.

We discussed the local scene and navigating the music business as an up and coming entity in the Nashville area. Students were allowed to ask questions and they kept us there for an hour after it was over networking and asking questions.

It was a great moment for the movement.

Panelists included:

• 187 Blitz
• Ducko McFli
• KABY
• Rio
• Kelly Hite
• Tim Hill
• Latino Saint
• Capo
• and myself

You can check out clips of the discussion on this week’s Indie Music Mania podcast.

Below is a video of the cypher at the end of class. The students joined in with Middle Tennessee Hip Hop’s finest for a few minutes of common unity with our community.

Hip Hop is alive and well.
