When I started this blog, I made a vow to myself that I’d rarely use this space as a platform for my own projects. This can sometimes can pollute a good thing (see The Source Magazine). Anyway, Chicago, the city that I live in, has become the most dangerous city in the U. S. for school children. Children are being killed at an alarming rate just by being caught in crossfire. A lot of these child murders are unsolved and escalating with the help of “stand up people” who “ain’t no snitches” ( I’ll save that rant for another post).
But, Chicago is just a slice of a much larger pie. This kind of tragedy is happening in almost every inner city across this country. An even bigger tragedy is the lack of outrage and almost complete silence about it. So last year, a couple of people, Cassandra Bell and Patricia Russell, decided to give a voice to the problem. I was asked to provide a beat and invite a few of my friends to be a part of the cause. Rather than wait to make a video, I decided to put a visual to music to help spread the music. The emcees featured on this project are: Chiyohood, Big Nastee, JUICE, D.A. Smart, Mikkey Halsted, Jarrett Payton, Lady Tay and Scandalous.
The project was produced by myself and another great producer named Stereo (the Go League).
