LAST SEPTEMBER , AT AN AIDS CONFERENCE AT HARRISBURG AREA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, SECRET SOCIETY PERFORMED TWO ORIGINAL SONGS “BOBBY RICHARDSON” AND “ RESPECT YOURSELF” THAT DELVE INTO THE PERILS OF UNPROTECTED SEX, AND THE RESULTING HORROR OF AIDS. ON JULY 28,1999 , THE DUO PERFORMED AN ORIGINAL SONG ABOUT THE DANGERS OF LEAD PAINT AT A CITY SPONSORED FUNCTION HELD IN RECOGNITION OF NATIONAL LEAD AWARENESS WEEK . A FOLDER STUFFED WITH NEWSPAPER CLIPS AND PICTURES CONTAINS THE LETTER OF THANKS THEY RECEIVED FROM HARRISBURG MAYOR STEPHEN R. REED. “THE MAYOR IS DELIGHTED TO HEAR OF THEIR SUCCESS,” SAID REED’S SPOKESMAN, RANDY KING. “ THE MAYOR FELT UPON HEARING THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY HAD GREAT POTENTIAL FOR SUCCESS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.” WE TRY TO STAY ON THE POSITIVE OF THINGS,” MUHAMMAD SAID. “WERE TRYING TO SEND OUT MESSAGES. KEEP POSITIVE. STAY OFF THE STREET. WATCH THE NEGATIVE. DON’T BE OUT HERE HAVING WILD, CRAZY SEX. WATCH YOUR CHILDREN. The mission is awareness. not just knowing or being informed, but really making people aware - understanding the potential impact, realizing the personal affect, connection, or danger - that's the level of awareness HAPS (Harrisburg AIDS Prevent Society) is shooting for. As a matter of fact, if the hair on the back of your neck stands up when you hear it, That is the intention! " I don't know what to do! I'm trying everything I can to reach ya'll! But ya'll don't wanna hear me! you must think this is a game. This is No game! This is No game! That's the bottom line and final call in a song called "The Plague", contributed by local rap group Gravel Group to the upcoming HIV/AIDS awareness initiative CD, slated to be released in late June/ early July. HAPS, a cooperative group comprised of members of local groups Gravel Ground and Secret Society, welcomed the opportunity to team up with Ngozi inc. and Metro Arts to hit Harrisburg's 10 to 16 - year-old Hip Hop fans right where it counts- between the ears- with rap lyrics, appealing chorus verses, and head bobbing beats. Each group came to the table with their own creations to be approved, performed, and recorded for distribution their target audience. The young men involved, all between the ages of 17 and 21, are prime candidates to serve as role models to their peers, as well as the youth of Harrisburg. The City of Harrisburg's AIDS/HIV statistics show that, particularly in the African American community, many young men aren’t living beyond the age of 25. "We don't need a focus group, we need a group that is focused" said one person at the early drawing board of the project. Along the progress of the project, HAPS members have proven that they are not only focused on the CD project, but also on the long term commitment to raise this kind of AIDS/HIV awareness. Bob Welsh of Metro Arts, for one ,was impressed with the engagement of the group - How they talked about all aspects of the terrifying statistics, and how they hoped they could influence people to be more responsible. The seriousness of HApS group is evident by the inclusion of so many hard facts and statistics in the lyrics. They had to attend a workshop and do some home work to have the proper back ground info for this project. As Secret Society's Taji Abdullah(a.k.a Oron the Wicked Warrior) learned, the accuracy of those hard-core facts was critical, as reviewers from the Greater Harrisburg Foundation inspected inspired by the statistic that reports that one out of five African American males in the city of Harrisburg is infected with an STD or STI, sexually Transmitted Disease or Sexually transmitted Infectious Disease. " There’s a message in the chorus, a message in the lyrics..." says Idriys." It's straight, clean, to the point...no cursing' " He says. Obviously confident with the project and their skills, members of Secret Society bring their own unique strengths to the table. Abdullah says he's surrounded by kids, which helps him stay young at heart and young in spirit, gives him the edge to "know what kids like" Idriys calls this a "unity project " as he worked with his cousin, Rza of Wu Tang Clan, to create the beats. The group's Ishmael Muhammad (a.k.a Apocalipz) brings his perspective of "there are different styles of Hip Hop", - an important consideration, since the HAPS project target the young HIP HOP fans of the city. As an artist Ishmael sees this particular projects as a way to show the public that we (Secret Society) can do more - expand [in collaboration with other artist.] " He also credits his mother Rafiyqa Muhammad of Ngozi inc. - with getting them though this point ( in the recording studio.) " We put secret Society in her hands far a minute" he says, " With out her, we probably wouldn't be here". Bringing a slightly different perspective to the project, poet Gina Edwards was called on to contribute to HAPS CD. Edwards material is hard hitting, especially when she speaks in the voice of AIDS, threating, " If I don't get you on the first try, I'll get you on the next." Obviously, HAPS, as a group, has pulled out all the stops and removed the candy flavoring from the facts for this critical lesson. As a mother of two children , Edwards says, " with children, we tend to sugar-coat things. We tell them, if you do it, OK if you don't, OK your young". But in this case , it's a matter of life or death, which calls for a more direct approach, Edwards, for one , intends to use HAPS CD as a teaching tool for her own children. Even though her position in the HAPS circle is unique, Edwards didn't want to come into the project as the older person. she sat back, watched with respect for the younger men's rap and musical skills, and waited for them to ask her opinion - an opinion she knows they appreciate. being invited to join the project was " an honor to me " she says. Of course, the most critical aspect of the HAPS project is the impact to the target audience. The truest measurement will be future AIDS/HIV statistics, but on a more immediate basis....
