Just in time for back to school, BET announces the dates for the Black College Tour. Alongside performances from hip-hop artists on the Universal Records label, students get a chance to participate in basketball tournaments, freestyle rap and singing contests, video game competitions, product sampling and a career fair. This year BET has added the taping of BET’s “Rap City” at the school to the tour. Hosted by Mad Linx will surely add a new twist to the show.

“I’m not sure what we look forward to most; recreating all the exciting things we bring to the schools or pushing ahead with new elements of this project,” said Michelle Garner, BET’s Vice President of Advertising Sales Special Projects and Event Marketing. “We are so pleased that – with the help of our sponsors — BET can offer the Black College Tour to students for another year. This will be our best yet”.
