Hip-Hop Gen X: Class Reunion

Are you a DJ, MC, producer, or other artist who contributed to the original sound of Memphis hip hop from the 1980s-2000s? If so, the Orange Mound Library is honoring you September 21 from 1-4pm. There will be a speaker panel featuring DJ Spanish Fly, Tommy Wright III, Jus Borne, Steve A., and John “Disco Hound” Moore.

DJ Zirk, originally from Orange Mound, will also speak as the Community Artist Spotlight during the event.

DIG Memphis will also be there with a digitization and oral history team to preserve your story through recorded interviews and the option to digitize cassettes or create digital files from CDs (limit of 3 items per person). You will receive your own copy of the newly digitized material. Any items that are not converted the day of the event can be donated to DIG Memphis to be processed at a later date. Speaker panel registration is limited to 50 seats. We can’t wait for you to join us!
