The Hip-Hop MBA is taking you back to school.

What does economics have to do with Hip-Hop? More than you’d think.  

Banker turned writer Nels Abbey reveals the links between the business of money management and the rise and triumph of Hip-Hop in an entertaining and illuminating talk.  

What does the founding of the Sugarhill Gang teach us about business development? What can we learn about management and leadership from Jay-Z's decades-long dominance? Does Lil Nas X have anything to teach us about corporate diversity? 

The world of business hasn't taken Hip-Hop moguls or their methods anywhere near seriously enough - until now. The Hip-Hop MBA is taking you back to school. 

Tickets £10

I'm floored by the insights, energy, criticality and illumination. I cannot stress enough how much you need to read this book if you have ANY interest in the shape and structures of our world. Absolutely brilliant.

Jeffrey Boakye, author of I Heard What You Said
