The announcer and singer at the end is Cornell Clark, who LL has described as his mentor.

LL was paid $500 for the show. Since he was the only rap act, he was worried it would a be short performance, so my dad suggested he fill it in with the scratching and beatboxing education.

Set List:
DJ Cut Creator Scratching Educational Intro
Dangerous
Beatboxing Education
I Want You
I Need a Beat
Cornell Clark covers Gladys Knight & the Pips "The Way We Were"

I wonder if LL remembers this show?

Organizer: The late Mike Starr - DJ Time Bomb
Video: Paul Gregoire
Sound: Arthur Leblanc

Here's an article about the video and Mike Starr.
