Steve Stoute, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Translation, is joined in a special conversation with Dan Charnas, experienced journalist, author of The Big Payback: The History of the Business of Hip-Hop, and current editorial director of InteractiveOne. Charnas' previous work with The Source, Profile Records, and American Recordings provides him with a unique perspective for the conversation. The discussion will look at how hip- hop has spurred creativity and spawned enterprise throughout the global economy as the predominant cultural force of the new century, a phenomenon Stoute calls “The Tanning Effect.”
