Hip-Hop and comics share numerous connections, and exist in constant communication with one another: Rappers and graffiti artists utilize superheroic imagery; DJs and producers create universes of sound; comic creators and animators incorporate Hip-Hop's musical and visual vocabularies; and both forms reconfigure and remix elements, blending styles and genres and inspiring passionate fanbases. Moderator Patrick A. Reed brings together an all-star group of artistic innovators to discuss the bonds between these two vital creative cultures, featuring Chalie 2na, Esoteric, Kwamé, Christine Pasalo Norland, Shequeta Smith, James Reitano, Turner Lange, and Xaviera Flores.
