Global Hip Hop Breaks Down Barrier’s NYC International Hip-Hop Event
NYC- Global music and media company NOMADIC WAX & public relations/social media/music promoter THE BLOOM EFFECT have joined forces once again to co-produce this year’s CMJ GLOBAL HIP-HOP THROW-DOWN. The event will unite the talents of a creative and diverse group of lyricists, DJs and visual artists from The Netherlands, the Middle East, Canada, Europe, and North Africa. The event takes place at the 92YTribeca http://www.92ytribeca.org 200 Hudson St- Downtown Tribeca on Thursday October 22nd 2009. The event will begin at 7 PM and will last until 3 AM and will feature live international hip-hop music and DJs spinning music and a freestyle session ending the night.
The College Music Journal Marathon (CMJ Marathon) is New York’s largest music, film and media conference and will host hundreds of live performances, films, lectures and networking events. “CMJ is a perfect place for a global hip-hop event like this” said The Bloom Effect CEO, Fiona Bloom. “An event that unites MCs from a variety of backgrounds, countries and nationalities is exactly the kind of event that we want to be promoting at a global music conference like CMJ. I’m still baffled that we’re the only showcase of its kind. As big as the movement’s growing- 1 Intl Hip Hop showcase doesn’t really give it the attention it deserves but we promise to deliver a night of historic measures”.
“The CMJ Global Hip-Hop Throwdown has been the only event at CMJ to support international Hip-hop talent. It’s really a true honor to have artists like this fly in from all over the world and is testament to the fact that international hip-hop is becoming more accepted by the mainstream.” said Nomadic Wax founder Ben Herson.
This years event will be hosted by Blitz the Ambassador (Ghana) and will feature rising stars; Coolooloosh (Israel), La Melodia (Holland), Nomadic Massive (Canada/Haiti), At Versaris (Spain) and Alfaress (Morocco) as well as DJ Boo (Philippines/US) and DJ Phat Phillie (Croatia) who will be playing international hip-hop.
“It’s incredible to see such diversity in an event like this” said host Blitz The Ambassador. “To have artists from all over the world performing on the same stage together shows how global and powerful hip-hop culture has become”.
This years event will be sponsored by WNYE (New York Public Radio), Fusicology, World Hip-Hop Market, Myxer, End of the Weak, Popular Printing, Hip Hop Loves, MVMT and others.
