Those selected and all of the other EXPO attendees in the audience will receive valuable constructive criticism and build relationships with contacts that can assist them in getting ahead in their careers.

RAPPERS – We have not forgotten about you, MCs!

We understand the producer and rapper go hand in hand in Hip-Hop, so the ASCAP EXPO iStandard Producer Showcase will feature two rap performances during the show!

The iStandard Producer Showcase has been held in 12 major US cities over the past 7 years, starting in New York and branching out to Philadelphia, Chicago, Miami, Phoenix, Atlanta, Boston, Washington DC, Houston, Dallas, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Producers that have been a part of the iStandard Producer Showcase have had placements with artists such as Kanye West, 50 Cent, Beyonce, Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Fabolous, Jill Scott, The Clipse, and more.

The ASCAP EXPO iStandard Producer and Rap Showcase promises to up the ante for Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop and Dance production for 2012 and beyond.
