Joseph Saddler, popularly known as famous DJ and rap legend Grandmaster Flash, is preparing to direct UB’s next Working Artists lab.

"I'm here to ignite that is all possible. And maybe they need a degree of belief. And if I could just do that, it would be really cool," DJ Grandmaster Flash said.

The lab is part of a full semester of hip-hop-inspired programming presented by the university’s arts collaborator.

In a recent talk with Spectrum News 1, he made known what he plans to share with students.
