Tiny T and B Money on the verses, and TeachONE on the instrumental. This a a project for an after-school hip-hop program.
Above all else I'm a teacher. I've been an avid artist/fan of Hip-Hop for nearly twenty years, and I've seen it go through many many changes, and for the most part I've stuck with it... Even when I thought it wasn't so good. Like all music Hip-Hop is an artform which can easily be described something that has beauty that isn't always seen by the eyes of every beholder.
On that note I think there is a lot of hip-hop that doesn't reach the masses simply because it doesn't make it to the radio. As a teacher, I feel it's my responsibility to show my students (I teach at a middle school in the south bronx) everything, so they at least have the opportunity to enjoy it.
My music is always gonna be positive, and is always gonna be about making a positive change...Have you performed in front of an audience?Yep... I've performed many times with and for my students. I've also joined many an open mic, as well as being one of the featured performers last year for a fund raiser for an independent film. the best moment I ever had with performing was last year when I actually went home to California (I live on the East Coast now) and performed with some former students (who have now grown up) to a huuuuge crowd that was there for them.
