There’s few people involved in hip-hop and R&B with the level of knowledge that Rob Pursey has – a DJ & Promoter who runs Hip Hop Karaoke, as well as events with his brand Southern Hospitality, around London, the UK and all major festivals. Southern Hospitality have been responsible for hip hop showcases at SXSW and A3C (Atlanta), and Rob has played Sonar, Glastonbury and more.
