The Latin Rap Conference, the first music industry
conference focusing on Latin Rap, Reggaeton, and the
Latin Urban genre, is coming back to New York City on
October 11th-13th. Credited by Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s
Latin Media and Entertainment Commission for providing a
testament to the genre’s ever-increasing potential and
appeal, the LRC has built a strong reputation for
bringing together hundreds of participants
|
ranging from executives, publicists, marketers and
corporations to artists, Indy labels and internet companies
for the purpose of growing the Latin Rap and Reggaeton
movement. LRC attracts major sponsors and media such as
ASCAP, Clear Channel, Univision, Telemundo, Universal
Records, Sony Music, MTV, Sirius, XM, and artists like
N.O.R.E., Lil Rob, Chingo Bling, and Voltio. The next
conference, being held at New York City hotspot LQ’s (Latin
Quarters), will consist of informative panels discussing
fundamental aspects of the trade and will feature showcases
from both established and up-and-coming artists in the
genre.
Organized by Jesse Perez, p.k.a. Shysti of Sicko Records,
Rich Isaacson and Jerry Blair of Fuerte Group, and Clear
Picture Entertainment Group, the LRC has become the forum
for The Latin Rap Coalition Board of Directors (a group
comprised of the genre’s top music executives,
professionals, artists, and radio personalities) to discuss
and take action towards the goals of education and Latino
community empowerment. “The LRC has become the single most
important networking event in this industry and we’re
honored to have the full support of this growing community,”
says Rich Isaacson who has already confirmed the addition of
Boy Wonder of Chosen Few Emerald Entertainment, Elias DeLeon
(owner of Puerto Rico’s White Lion Records), and Gaby
Acevedo, President of SRC Records and manager to Tego
Calderon, to the board of directors. Established members of
the board already include Gustavo Lopez (President of
Machete Records), the nationally syndicated Pocos Pero Locos
founders Khool Aid and E-Dub, Univision Radio’s Pete
Manriquez, John Lopez of Upstairs Records, DJ Kazzanova of
New York’s La Kalle 105.9, Mexican-American rapper Chingo
Bling, and Toy Hernandez of Control Machete.
The fourth installment of the Latin Rap Conference will mark
the second consecutive time the conference will take place
in New York City, the birthplace of hip-hop.
