How come rappers never stopped by my school when I was enrolled?
One of our favorite rappers, Ludacris, in conjunction with the people behind the Grammy Awards, stopped by Clark University yesterday for “Grammy Career Day”. Over 300 metro Atlanta high school students from 10 different high schools will forever have the experience of meeting Atlanta’s multitalented rapper, producer, and CEO of DTP records burned in their minds. Luda headlined the event that is geared towards placing students in direct contact with industry pros, for the next two weeks in various cities leading up to the Grammy Awards broadcast on February 11th.
The day began with a super-sized panel featuring Ludacris, R&B singer-songwriter Lyfe Jennings, jazz guitarist Earl Klugh, engineer Phil Tan, songwriter Tab Nkhereanye, record label exec Dee Dee Murray and singer, songwriter and vocal coach Jan Smith. This was followed by smaller music workshops, lunch and the closing performance by Shareefa, who sang her single, "I Need A Boss.”
Ludacris had this to say about the event:
"The questions these kids asked are the same kinds of things I wanted to know at their age, and there was no one around like that panel to answer them for me. That's why I do things like this; to make it better for the next hungry young kid. The talent out there just waiting to be bigger than me. And all they need is this knowledge."
Big shout out to Ludacris for taking care of the kids!!
Talk to y’all lata
