I also want to thank Sebastian and the Hip-Hop Culture Program for being the featured guest on tonight’s Bankable Artist Mastermind and Mentorship call. If you’re looking for a truly effective and powerful cause to put some funding into, I highly recommend you contact him through that link and send a donation.
