Texas Chapter Trustee and Grammy-nominated rapper Paul Wall will also be on deck in his home state to represent.
In addition to the Slap God Paul Wall, Theresa Jenkins (Sr. Executive Director of the Texas Chapter), Terry Lickona (Executive Producer of Austin City Limits) and Carlos Alvarez (Texas Chapter President) will be in attendance.
