"This camp is more than just a series of classes," said HHLC Founder Karen Levy. “The personal interaction and application of the skills acquired in the program gives them the chance to experience their potential as future leaders by using their love of hip-hop and entertainment as a learning tool.”
In addition to MC Lyte, Sticky Fingaz, Chino XL, Sway, DJ Skee, Big Jon Platt (Executive Sr. VP Urban Music, EMI Music Publishing), Big Paul (Universal/Motown), Davey D., DJ Skee, Myra McCaskill (Geffen), Gary Jackson (Professor, Hip-Hop Business, UCLA), Poetess (100.3 The Beat), Luscious Liz (Power 106), Billy Johnson Jr. (Yahoo! Music), Gail Mitchell (Billboard) and others will attend the camp.
The professionals will teach 35 inner-city youth the ins and outs of the music business as a way to learn various business skills. The camp focuses on team building, goal setting and leadership culture through Hip-Hop.
Students who maintain a 2.5 grade average and above and graduate from high school are guaranteed an internship in the entertainment field of their choice.
