From April 19-22, I’ll be participating in this year’s EMP conference<\/a> in Seattle, an annual convergence of music writers (journalists and academics alike). My own presentation is on that ol “Zunguzung” meme<\/a> and will follow the zigzagging melody from Yellowman to Jin, with plenty of stops along the way, examining how such a musical figure articulates with time, place, and cultural politics (see abstract<\/a>). <\/p>\n

The panel I’m on runs from 2:15 to 4:00pm on Friday, April 20. I’m looking fwd to being in the same room as these heavy (mostly rap&reggae-centric) musical thinkers —<\/p>\n

>> Localizing Hip-Hop<\/strong>
\nModerator: Ken Wissoker
\nVenue: Demo Lab
\nFeaturing:
\nDave Stelfox & Erin MacLeod, “Screwing up the world”: Hip Hop Slows Down And Makes Do In Houston, Texas<\/em>
\nStacey Campbell & James Dooley, Keeping it Real From the Rez to the Hood: Aboriginal Hip Hop Identity and Resistance<\/em>
\nWayne Marshall, Follow Me Now: The Zig-Zagging Zunguzung Meme<\/a><\/em>
\nRob Kenner, Murderation: Dancehall Reggae and the “Boom Boom Bye” Backlash<\/em><\/p>\n

Lots of other good panels<\/a> lined up too. Maybe I’ll see you there —<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
