The Roc Rocks The UK
 Dame Dash and Urban Music Seminar have just announced that Roc-A-Fella
records will be sponsoring London's Urban Music Festival this upcoming
fall.
"The way I look at hip-hop - we're all a family. No matter where we
are, no matter where you go. When I travel, no matter where it is in
the world, when I see a hip-hop individual who has an appreciation for
the culture, automatically you embrace that person - like a family
should," Dash said in a statement.

The Roc Urban Festival will include seminars, workshops, master
classes and exhibitions provided by Hip-Hop's top artists as well as
A&R's, accountants, managers and publicists. In the past year, Dash
has increasingly been involved in the U.K's Hip-Hop scene. Besides
signing Victoria "Posh sp!ce" Beckham last year, Dame recruited
Diplomats affiliate SAS. Dash has been making frequent appearances on
U.K top dog DJ Tim Westwood's Radio 1 show and has reportedly bought a
house in London.
"Everything that I have and every opportunity that is presented to me
I will definitely share with anyone in the UK with an appreciation for
hip-hop. I think it's very important for people to understand the
importance of the culture and to also understand how serious and how
influential the hip-hop culture is to the whole world."
The Roc Urban Music Festival takes place in London's Royal Festival
Hall on September 18 and 19.
