The best description of everyone comes from CMC's Website:
"Adam Bradley, author, forthcoming Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip-Hop (2009); Jeff Chang, author, Total Chaos: Art and Aesthetics of Hip-Hop (2007) ; Ebony Utley, author, forthcoming The Gangsta's God: Deciphering the Divine's Role in Rap , Cheo Hodari Coker, author, Unbelievable: The Life, Death, and Afterlife of the Notorious B.I.G. (2004)" and Crooked I, a hip-hop artist from Long Beach known for his freestyles and formerly being signed to Death Row records.
From a CMC news release: "How will hip hop, traditionally resistant to mainstream politics, respond to the ascendancy of the nation's first black president? What directions will rap take as an art form? What are the consequences of hip hop's rapid globalization?
These and other questions will be asked of a panel that will include the award-winning author Jeff Chang whose Can't Stop, Won't Stop: A History of the Hip Hop Generation (2005) has set the standard for hip hop historical writing; Cheo Hodari Coker, whose biography of the Notorious B.I.G. and screenwriting credit on the recently-released Biggie biopic, Notorious (2009), testify to a writer with a deep understanding of hip hop's past and present; Ebony Utley, a scholar of communication studies at California State University, Long Beach whose work looks closely at hip hop for insights into race and its relationships with gender and language; and Crooked I, a Long Beach MC widely regarded as among rap's most gifted lyricists, who has gained acclaim in hip hop circles for his numerous mixtape releases. The panel will be moderated by CMC's Adam Bradley, assistant professor of literature and author of the forthcoming Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop (March 3, 2009)."

Looks like the concert runs from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the senior apartments at Claremont McKenna College but a school identification is required.
They must expect E-40 to arrive pretty late with a concert scheduled to go until 2 a.m.
Here is E-40's last hit called "Tell Me When To Go" with Keak Da Sneak in 2006 from his album "My Ghetto Report Card."
His latest album, "The Ball Street Journal," is set for release this year.
I would have liked to use the video for E-40's 1995 hit "Sprinkle Me" from his major label breakthrough "In A Major Way" on Jive Records but I could not get the link to work.
E-40, real name Earl Stevens, studied commercial art at Grambling State University in Louisiana in the 1980's before he decided to return to Vallejo to become a hip-hop star.
Dem Hoodstarz, with Band-Aide and Scoot Dogg, are a hip-hop duo from East Palo Alto.
Claremont McKenna College is located at 850 Columbia Avenue.
