CUSH - Columbia University Society of Hip-Hop CUSH

This is a starting point to a much bigger movement...The mission of CUSH is to bring together lovers of Hip-Hop music in all the forms they come in, fans, artists(emcees, singers, poets e.t.c), Producers/BeatMakers, DJs, B-Boyz/Girls and Graffiti artists... the idea is to bring all of you together, provide a space for networking, entertainment, and to discuss some critical issues in hip hop today,

both on the music/industry side and also Artform/cultural side of things. These will be in a lot of forms; from having panel discussions with some big names in hip hop circles, to having album listening parties, showcases and concerts involving all the elements of hip hop... and much more.
