Highlights::

• Performances by global beatbox champions HeaveN, Beat Bunchies, & SmVy, Iodine, Africano as well as Ballethic.
  
• donning "creatively formal attire" and seeing the hip hop generation all grown up and cleaned up nice
  
• watching Boris Kudjoe rub his wife's back gently as they met & greeted (now that's love ;)
  
• the torch of "activism" being symbolically passed from Cornel West to Big Boi
  
• Rashan Ali and Kenny Burns impromptu jokes
  
• Collective Renaissance Guild pulling this off quite nicely.
  

Did you know there was a "hip hop, Gen-X elite? Well, now you do ;)
