Hustlers Convention at HOME

Hailed by Grandmaster Flash and Chuck D, sampled by the Beastie Boys, Wu Tang Clan, and Nas, the influential album Hustlers Convention was the foundation for today’s hip-hop scene. With original interviews including Jalal Nuriddin aka Lightnin’ Rod, Ice T, KRS One, Chuck D, MC Lyte & Melle Mel, the film explores the forgotten roots of rap, and takes a closer look at how the album changed the face of music.
 
The screening on the 11th of June will be accompanied by a Q&A with original member of The Last Poets, Jalal Mansur Nuriddin, director Mike Todd and producer and director of photography, Quenell Jones.
 
There are still some tickets available for Thursday night’s showing at HOME.
