Rap Star Lil' Zane Joins Panel For Hip Hop Summit At Black Press All Star Awards
Washington, DC (BlackNews.com) - Rap star Zane, formerly known as Lil Zane, has joined the growing list of celebrity panelists at the upcoming Hip Hop Journalism Summit Panel at Black Press All Star Awards which takes place in Chicago, IL on September 16-17, 2005. The event also boasts a Mix Tape Competition and Poetry Slam.
By age 17, he had already contributed a song to the soundtrack for Ice Cube's hit movie "Next Friday," and started his own acting career in "Finding Forrester" with former James Bond actor, Sean Connerly, appeared with Eddie Murphy on "Dr. Dolittle 2" and stole his scenes on the blockbuster movie, "Fighting Temptations" with Beyoncé' and Cuba Gooding. For the past year or so, Zane took a much needed break from the big screen to work on other projects.
Now Zane is back in a big way. Seen recently on the 2005 BET Awards, Zane will participate in the panel discussion on the hip hop industry and its effects on Urban radio. Plus, Zane will judge the Mix Tape Competition and Hip Hop Poetry Slam with other industry executives, professionals and fans.
