GrindXDesign is an eight-week group tele-course designed to show you how to get into the hip-hop music industry.

The series—conducted via conference call, with up to 1,000 attendees—consists of eight live, one-hour "modules." That is, one discussion every Wednesday, for eight weeks.

The dates for the calls are as follows:

• August 29th
• September 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th
• October 3rd, 10th and 17th

Each week, starting at 8:00pm ET, for 60-90 minutes by phone, we'll discuss everything you need to know to get a jump on the next man. The modules cover everything from producing to songwriting; mixtapes to social media; publicity to perfecting your mental state.

Each call features working experts from the hip-hop music business. Invited guests include:

• rapper Chuck D (Public Enemy)
• legal activist & author Wendy Day (Rap Coalition)
• producer D.J. Drama (The Aphilliates)
• producer D.J. Premier (Gang Starr)
• publishing administrator Jamie Purpora (TuneCore)
• editor-in-chief Kim Osorio (The Source)
• percussionist Questlove (The Roots)
• editor-in-chief Vanessa Satten (XXL)
• engineer/producer Young Guru
• attorney Dan Booth (Booth Sweet LLP)
• social media strategist Lena West (Influence Expansion)
• film executive Arthur Wylie (Only the Crazy and Fearless Win BIG!)
• mixtape mogul Marcus Frasier (DatPiff.com)
• and many more...

I've tapped into the expertise of the people I know, so that I can share their expertise with you.

Plus, a question-and-answer period has been designated for each call. This program has been structured to address as many questions as time allows. Don't worry; if you are unable to make a particular call, you will be given access to the call recording within 24-48 hours of the live call.

I invite you to join me in a revolution of the mind: GrindXDesign. Register today.
