And in a rare ocassion, BReal freestyled.
The second showcase began with a tribute to Cypress Hill. Shysti, the Latin Rap Conference founder, presented BReal an award for their dedication and achievement to music. BReal gladly accepted the award, and encouraged everyone there to pursue their dreams and continue to move forward in reaching them. He also thanked the Latino artists that came before them and reminded everyone to always look back and help the person behind them.
The conference showcases were a complete success, the conference showcases ended on Friday night with most of the industry gathering for one more night to link up and creatively join forces to continue this fast growing Latin rap / Hip-Hop Movement.
