Emile YX? and Heal the Hood start South Africas’ first Hip Hop Skool

We need to create the next generation of organisers, hip hop teachers and activists. It is this urgent need that has driven Emile YX? back to his roots as a teacher.

Emile YX? and Heal the Hood has decided to create a 1 year course that will put young hip hop artists through courses in:-

Performance skills like stage presence, originality of performance, mic control
Production of a play
Touring nationally and internationally
Proposal writing and Fund-raising
Sound engineering

D.T.P. for magazine, flyer and poster creation
Studio Recording
Product Duplication CD & DVD
Event co-ordination
Marketing of products they involved in
Importance of Networking
Knowledge of Self
Teaching breakdancing and passing on of skills
Dance Styles
Handling interviews on TV, magazine and radio

This years 3 lucky students are Latecia Fisher aka Snoekie, Alfred Burgess aka B-Boy Benny and Daniel B-boy DRock. They will tour nationally with Heal the Hood and African Hip Hop Indaba from the 15th May until 30th June. They then tour England, USA and Italy before returning to South Africa for the African Hip Hop Indaba and My Hip Hop Play in August and September and then head back out for the LIVE IT OUD tour of Sweden and Norway. They end the year with African Battle Cry in December. We would like to meet as many people along the way on the national tour, so mail us at emiley@mweb.co.za and we can connect on the road. As I said we Bruinous need to network more.

Peace
