PROGRAM SPEAKER: Seth “Brimstone” Schere is a dynamic leader, educator and artist from Miami. From a modest start teaching Hip Hop at Jewish Community Centers, Brimstone founded PATH: Preserving, Archiving & Teaching Hip Hop, a pioneering Hip Hop education organization in South Florida. The recent release of his book, “Two Decades of Rap: The Lyrics of Brimstone 127” closed his 20 year career as an emcee but inspired his forthcoming book, “Hip Hop & The Diaspora: Jewish Contributions to Hip Hop Culture.” His emcee work appears on the compilation “Celebrate Hip Hop: Jewish Artists from Around the Globe” and he has produced/engineered for Grammy award-winning artists from across genres. He is co-producer of 3 of his own award-winning hip hop albums: “Metamorphoses,” “Elevator Music” and “Renaissance of Hip Hop.”
