Hip-Hop Pioneers Big Daddy Kane & Easy Mo Bee Slated For "Celebrating 50 Years Of Hip-Hop" Session, Following Timbaland Keynote Conversation At ASCAP Experience
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) ΑSCAP Experience, ASCAP's signature event created to inspire, educate and connect aspiring songwriters and composers everywhere, has added two pioneers from the Golden Era of Hip-Hop: rapper Big Daddy Kane ("Smooth Operator," "Ain't No Half Steppin") and DJ, music producer and drummer Easy Mo Bee (Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur) for a special "Celebrating 50 Years of Hip-Hop" session to round out its 2023 programming. Reimagined as a one-day live event in Los Angeles, ASCAP Experience 2023's stacked lineup of hitmaking music creators and industry experts takes over the Avalon in Hollywood on June 21. Last week, ASCAP announced multi-platinum Grammy-winning producer Timbaland as guest for a keynote conversation, and today, the full schedule is revealed (below).

The creator summit kicks off with welcoming words from ASCAP Chairman of the Board and President Paul Williams, leading into sessions that cover some of today's most important topics for music creators — from how to build a career in the social media age, to the impact of AI on how music is made and consumed, to a live song feedback session where aspiring music professionals can get advice and suggestions on their music from established hitmakers.

In addition to Williams, Timbaland, Big Daddy Kane and Easy Mo Bee, the lineup's diverse roster of creators range from one of the top-followed Gen Z celebrities (breakout singer-songwriter Alex Warren) and multi-hyphenate talents (actor, singer, songwriter and producer Leon Thomas), to composers/bandleaders (Anna Waronker, Yellowjackets composer and that dog. lead singer), multi-platinum rapper/producers (Hitmaka) and a multi-#1 pop-country songwriter and author (J.T. Harding).

Previously known as ASCAP "I Create Music" EXPO, ASCAP Experience now marks its 18th year including three successful years of virtual programming from 2020 - 2022. Previous panelists have included Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Justin Timberlake, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Katy Perry, Tom Petty, Meghan Trainor, Muni Long, Greg Kurstin, Swizz Beatz, D-Nice, Chris Stapleton, Questlove, St. Vincent, King Princess, Lee Ann Womack, Wyclef Jean, Jermaine Dupri, Melissa Etheridge, Hans Zimmer, Michael Giacchino and many more.

ASCAP Experience 2023 is sold out. More information is available at www.ascapexperience.com, and a full schedule*, including talent, is below:

KING STAYS KING: KEYNOTE INTERVIEW WITH TIMBALAND (4:45PM PT):
The history of R&B, hip-hop and pop production can be divided into two eras: pre-Timbaland and post-Timbaland. In the late '90s, Timbaland's collaborations with Ginuwine, Aaliyah and Missy Elliott changed the sound of radio, building unearthly grooves out of strange sounds that propelled these incredible talents into superstardom. He charted new sonic territory in the 2000s with Justin Timberlake ("SexyBack"), OneRepublic ("Apologize"), Nelly Furtado ("Promiscuous") and Madonna ("4 Minutes"), amassing a bulletproof canon of massive hits. In the years since, Timbaland has left his stamp on film/TV scoring, production music, book publishing and beyond. This in-depth conversation with one of the most innovative musical minds of our era will engage Timbaland on the sounds that inspired him on his way to the top, and what inspires him to stay ahead of the curve today.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF HIP-HOP (6:00PM PT):
Over its half-century history, hip-hop has evolved from an inner-city art form into an unstoppable force that has made a major commercial and cultural impact on every region of the globe.
