A celebration of Hip Hop is coming to the Reece Museum on Nov. 13 from noon to 4:30 p.m. Join us as we turn up the bass and take a look into the fast-growing state of Hip Hop in East Tennessee with Craig Charles of Craigs Crown Cutz and Smoothed Out Radio. Come prepared to be entertained and informed as the event will feature a Q&A panel of artists, musicians, producers, and more.
The event will be hosted by Taylor Joel and Michael Haze of Smoothed Out Radio and will feature a performance by a special guest student from ETSU, R&B singer Miss Ferg. We will conclude the day with the first ever Hip Hop Cypher inside the Reece Museum, featuring a mix of old and new school lyricists like Faat Mamba, Casen Skies, DunDada, and other artists.
Attendees will have the opportunity to speak with entertainers and content creators about songwriting, the music industry, marketing, working with instruments, and other topics related to Hip Hop. Craig Charles, a prominent businessman and leader in the community, is organizing the event along with Smoothed Out Radio and T&L services for students, music lovers, and anyone wanting to come together for a wonderful celebration.
This event is supported by partnerships with the Black American Studies Program at ETSU, Crown Cutz Academy of Barber & Style, Breaden’s Barbecue, Little Caesar’s Pizza on Kingsport’s Stone Drive, and Tennessee Hills Brewstillery. Tennessee Hills will be hosting an afterparty at their downtown Johnson City location featuring Hip Hop trivia and more opportunities to mingle with local artists.
