...show was cool. Biz Mark got on the tables to play some breaks and some of his own instrumentals, beat-boxing and rhyming into the deejay mic at times to get everybody amped.

Co-organized by Candice Hoyes '99 and Erika Fullwood '99, it offered a rare gathering of music insiders and outsiders to discuss a multiplicity of topics all surrounding a musical genre. The interaction among panelists and audience members was astoundingly high; on this level the conference was nothing but a sucess. More than 300 participants took part in the conference. With a powerful publicity campaign, the NextLevel seems especially relevent in regards...
...afternoon consisted of four "Rap Sessions" or panel discussions and a keynote speech by KRS- One, Ostensibly the interchange at the Rap Sessions was to focus on educating audience members about the music industry while structuring discussion topics on the content and constituency of hip hop. Artists, producers, decjays, journalists, executives, lawyers and other insiders sat on four panels. Each session was moderated by Dahni-el Giles '99, Caille Millner '01, Baratunde Thurston '99 and Jason Phillips...
