Live In Color

In association with the North Charleston Art’s Festival held May 1st – 5th, Live in Color is a hip-hop curated event celebrating music, culture, creativity and conversation. Make sure you check out this cool event on May 4; here are more details:

ABOUT

Hip-hop meets pop art in this unique celebration of color and hip-hop culture produced for the second year in a row by Charleston Sticks Together. ILLADELL will be dropping beats all night while participants apply their creativity to one of two hip-hop inspired coloring pages designed by Atlanta-based illustrator Larry Luk. All materials will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own. Completed coloring pages must be submitted to the judges by 10 pm for a chance to win a variety of prizes!

TRAPADEMCIS

While the judges deliberate, a panel consisting of Hip-Hop aficionados will debate a variety of topics concerning the culture. Each round, our TRAPADEMIC participants will have 3 minutes to persuade the crowd on a variety of topics such as: “Who’s the Hottest Female Rapper in the Game?” or “Name the Best Juvenile Verse of All-Time and Why?”. After a few rounds, we’ll start eliminating contestants until we get down to a final two. Our remaining contestants will battle wits for the right to be crowned our first ever TRAPADEMIC SCHOLAR
