    Ecaj and Silas Blak of Black Stax to Guest Lecture at University of


    Washington on Tuesday, February 9th, School of Multicultural
    Education

    Discuss Past and Future of Seattle Hip Hop, Cultural Stereotypes and Music Sales

    Seattle, WA / January 27, 2010 - Ecaj and Silas Blak of Black Stax will be guest
    lecturers at the It’s Bigger than Hip Hop class, part of the school of Multicultural
    Education at the University of Washington, on Tuesday, February, 9, 3:30 – 5:20
    p.m. The course takes place at the Art Building, Room 003.

    In the It’s Bigger than Hip Hop class students learn about how performers respond to
    social forces and how they inform political changes with an emphasis on Seattle Hip
    Hop. They study historical examples, local populations and theoretical foundations,
    read, view, listen to and attend performances including hip hop, spoken word, theater,
    music, dance and art. This course has strong emphasis on resistances to oppressions,
    civic engagements and community building.

    Ecaj and Silas Blak will present on early Seattle hip-hop, lessons learned during their
    first effort the Silent Lambs Project - a popular underground and conscious hip hop
    group of the 1990s - and their role in contributing to the future artists. They will
    deconstruct hip-hop stereotypes, and the role of capitalism and patriarchy in its
    commercial rise – themes found in the Silent Lambs Project music.

    “We’re looking forward to taking advantage of this great opportunity to speak with the
    next generation of hip hop participants. If they’re open to the history and controversy of
    this region then I think they’ll learn a lot,” says Ecaj

    “This is larger than entertainment. At times hip hop is our political process, it has
    created a form of discourse within our larger system, so we take this task very seriously
    and are hype about it,” adds Silas Blak.
