[00:00:16] Speaker A: I love it. I love it. I met you last year and you're back this year because you all have the Hip Hop Worship Gathering in Detroit Part 2.
And it's the tour, it's beginning right here in Detroit like last year.
[00:00:32] Speaker B: That is correct.
[00:00:33] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:00:34] Speaker A: So tell me about it, Ms. Kimberly.
[00:00:37] Speaker B: Well, shout out to our manager, Von Zelle Washington. For those who don't know, he's the visionary behind it all.
A young Texas Ranger is what I call him. But the Lord gave him this vision to go out and to basically say it's like we have the Maverick City movement for gospel hip hop. So last year we did 16 stops and then under that we have 40 baptisms and we also have 190 people to give their lives over to Christ in rededication. So it's a powerful movement and we're looking forward to even more this year.
[00:01:07] Speaker A: I got chills with that because one of my things that you already know if you're from Detroit is that I love to focus on the hip hop artists who are out there trying to make a move.
And what I am excited about is that even the Stellars now are opening the doors for hip hop. And we were talking about that year col collaborating with this.
[00:01:31] Speaker C: Yeah. So it's funny you say that.
Well, actually. Right. So I became the first hip hop dude last year to present a Stellar award for the hip hop category. So I presented Pastor Mike his Stellar award and my man Canton Jones won Hip hop album of the year. So yeah, to be involved in what's happening, you know, now as far as help ushering in, you know, hip hop. So you got the Stellars and then also the Gospel industry coalition with Dr. Theresa Jackson, who's really, really getting behind the hip hop movement and helping us push it forward.
[00:02:07] Speaker A: I'm so happy about that because honestly, it's long overdue and I'm excited for you all because you're taking this generation even further. Yes, Lord, we are talking about tonight's event is the start of a two day event which was really good last year. Yes, tell us about it.

[00:04:34] Speaker A: Right.
[00:04:34] Speaker C: So last year I did a masterclass and there's a lot of things that's happened in the music business since then.

[00:04:40] Speaker C: And we're going to talk about AI.
[00:04:42] Speaker A: Oh, right, good.
[00:04:43] Speaker C: Not just AI, but how to manage it yourself.
[00:04:46] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:04:46] Speaker C: Right. Because a lot of information comes up in regards to the artist, but artists don't know is that you control that information. Because when you type in, hey, who's Randy Miles with the AI situation, they only going to pull up what is official. So if you have an official site, AI is going to treat that as an official word. So I'm just giving out just little gems, but we're going to dive into
[00:05:06] Speaker A: it and I do. Thank God.
[00:05:07] Speaker C: And then I'm doing.
