The re-launched edition of Str8 Up Hip-hop, a monthly urban networking event for Hip-hop heads and intellectuals, held last week was a success as stakeholders in the industry took a stand.
It focused on a critical breakdown of matters arising from 'There Was A Country' by renowned author, Chinua Achebe.
The panelists, MI Abaga, Obi Asika, DJ Jimmy Jatt, Elajoe and Pamela Braide, discussed, among other things, the challenges of distribution, scarcity and piracy of books, decline in reading culture, importance of ethnic identity to the Nigerian youth and the role of the Hip-hop community in nation building.
