Pinch me!!! @BarackObama posted us!!
Today I got to hear from @GuitarsOverGuns—one of @MBK_Alliance’s Freedom Summer ‘22 recipients—about how they’re working to support young people on the South Side of Chicago.
When the Obama Presidential Center opens, it will offer spaces and programming just like this.
Thanks for letting me join!
This is crazy. Much love to @BarackObama for highlighting our song with the legend himself @eddievedder. So proud of our mentees in the @guitarsoverguns program
Music has always had the power to connect and inspire us. At the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, @EddieVedder and the young people from @GuitarsOverGuns wrote and performed a profoundly moving song, ‘Better Believe,’ that spoke to each of them and all of us.
Calling all Emcees in Chicago!!!
Me and @ADD2theMC are bringing the Emcee Olympics back at @bookclubchi on August 29th. Cash prizes included. Keep an eye out for more announcements soon.
Best rappers I know are @mickjenkins & @LupeFiasco
"Letters" by @chancetherapper might be the most powerful & honest record I have heard all year. Can't wait til he performs it on tv with a choir on a late night show
Yall know the most important thing to me is giving back to the youth. If you are participating in #GivingTuesday please consider donating to @guitarsoverguns. Amazing mentoring program that hires musicians from the city to be the mentors. Every $ counts

This week my Audio History class debated the use of AI in music as well as the Kendrick vs Drake situation. I started class by showing them a video by @KingWillonius.
