This Saturday, 26th Sept 2009!

At Krosswerdz, faith meets hip hop culture.
If you’re down with emceeing, turntablism, graffiti, b*boying & beatboxing then hook up with the krew at Belmore on the last Saturday of the month.

[across from Belmore train station]
When: Saturday 26.9.2009

To get everyone hyped up for Blackstump, Krosswerdz presents a showcase of Australian emceeing talent including Dying to be alive (Noble1 & Altamira), Mistery?, Oakbridge, Izzy and 21monks.

Also in the place will be Plastic and his wife Janny direct from the USA. Plastic runs http://www.sphereofhiphop.com and ILLECT Recordings http://www.ILLECT.com and will be sharing with us what it’s like to work in the American Christian Hip Hop music industry.

If that wasn’t enough, Oakbridge will be bringing a message of wisdom and life from the Werd, Dj Android will be ripping the wheels of steel and holding down the beats for the open mic session and Kristy D will be serving delicious food for all to enjoy.

Maximum respect!

Upcoming events and dates for the calendar
Mustard Empire & Krosswerdz presents: The 2009 Christian Hip Hop Music Industry Tour
Featuring USA’s Plastic & Janny of http://www.sphereofhiphop.com and ILLECT Recordings http://www.ILLECT.com

Plastic is a true pioneer of Christian Hip Hop and is tireless on the frontline of the scene we so dearly love. His experience is second to none, and even though he has been instrumental in so many of the biggest names in the American Christian music industry he is still one of the most humble and down to earth people you will meet.

Plastic, the Mustard Empire and Krosswerdz want to invite you to get together with us. To talk, share, discuss hip hop issues and ask questions. How does the American music industry work? What are realistic goals for my music career? How do you start a record label? How can I get my music out there?

Remember
Part of the reason why Krosswerdz started was to provide a performance space for up and coming hip hop talent. So if you’ve been working on rhymes, beat-juggles, outlines or b*boy routines then Krosswerdz is the place to get loose!

Spread the Werd and please keep praying for this ministry as we seek to use hip hop culture to honour God and share Jesus with those who do not know Him.

From the Werd…
For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:40.

Peace,
