The above audio is from a panel discussion on Christianity and Hip Hop at #HHRW(Hip Hop Retreat Week) on Friday August 12th, 2017 held in Brooklyn, NY.
On January 16th, 2016 The Symbol from all is love was the special guest at the Elements of Culture Performance Lecture Series in the Bronx, NY. Here is a video from the presentation.
The Elements of Culture Performance Lecture Series is designed to provide the audience with a powerful and positive delivery of performative storytelling, socio-political perspective, and a value-based lecture, one that is True to Hip-Hop.
Developed in the 1960s as a sub-genre of Performance Art, the Lecture Performance has returned within the field of contemporary art during the last decade. In 1964, the American artist Robert Morris life-synchronized 21 minutes video documentation of a lecture by the famous art historian Erwin Panofsky in front of a New York audience. Morris used the purely reflexive format of the lecture, arguably for the first time as an artistic medium, toquestion the established conceptions of the artwork and of the mechanisms of the art context during his performance.
The Elements of Culture Performance Lecture Series is a platform for those who understand the relationship between art and knowledge, art and research, art and socio-political justice, and don so via a Hip-Hop Cultural lense. This Series will operate as a space in potential, one in which art, life and society is deconstructed, recontructed as well as created via an intimate, honest and open conversation between the artist and the audience.

Matthew 25 speaks of a parable where a master leaves his servants with talents. In the scripture, the talents are a form of currency or money however talents for us is very different.
At Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in the Bronx, The Symbol speaks, prays with, and leads a music recording workshop to share one of his talents.
