TUES 16 JUNE 2015 Hustlers Convention tells the story of the 1973 album of the same name. While largely forgotten by history, it is regarded as a cornerstone in the evolution of Hip Hop. Its creator, Lightnin’ Rod, aka Jalal Nuriddin of The Last Poets, is affectionately known in some circles as ‘The Grandfather of Rap’ for his contribution to the genre. The album is an epic rhymed story of a fast-talking hustler by the name of Sport. The music is provided by Kool & the Gang and Buddy Miles among many others. It is a street tale of card sharks, gamblers, dope peddlers and thieves. The likes of Melle Mel and Fab 5 Freddy can still recite it word for word. Wu Tang, the Beastie Boys and Jungle Brothers have all paid homage to it. The documentary, is conceived as a way to tell the story, perhaps for the first time, of the true roots of rap. By exploring the life and times of Jalal, we gain an insight into how when his street rhyming style, based on the African American jail toast tradition, met the black power politics of the post-Malcolm X era, the art of rap as we know it today was born. Join Jalal and Malik and other special guests for a live pre-screening hip hop music demo, film screening and Q&A with Jalal and Malik. FREE ADMISSION VENUE MUSLIM MUSIC MATTERS

The URBN (urban) Project is an untold story of five adult offenders connecting with street art in the form of music and graffiti. During the four days these men explored their identity, story and future in Preston. Working with international scratch champion, DJ Woody, and graffiti artist, Bodie Doyle, they created graffiti art and mix tapes to reflect their learning and experience under the guidance of the two artists. 'This project is an outstanding example of what can be achieved when we assist individuals to demonstrate their talent and ability rather than just on what they have done wrong.' Phil O'Donnell, Assistant Chief Executice Cumbria and Lancashire CRC. Lunch will be provided on arrival at 12.45pm with an opportunity to view the art exhibition. You'll then hear first hand how the Urban project has given support to all those involved.
