This Monday, NYU's Gallatin school will be hosting a panel discussion and concert linking up Senegalese rappers/musicians Thiat (Keur Gui), Foumalade (Batthaillons Blin-D) and Baay Bia with several activists and scholars, including Dead Prez' M-1 — who crafted a great Africa In Your Earbuds for us some moons ago. Don't miss Dakar 2 NYC Global Hip-Hop Exchange, it looks to be a highly stimulating talk, and head to The ShrineSunday night to catch a preview of what's to come where Thiat and Foumalade will be holding it down onstage from 9PM-10PM.
