From Ebony: Recently, Universal Music Group (UMG) kicked off its Masterclass series—a six-part speaking engagement featuring artists and music executives discussing the ins and outs of the industry. Targeted toward college students, the series spotlights both a forward-facing figure in music as well as a prominent background figure while candidly addressing the current climate in hip-hop and the industry as a whole.
Moderated by Digital Content Director of Ebony-JET Soraya Joseph, the Master Class series kicked off with Pusha and Victor at New York University’s Clive Davis Institute’s Element of Hip Hop event before about 400 students.
