"Hip Hop can be a very powerful weapon to help expand young people's political and social consciousness. But just as with any weapon, if you don't know how to use it, if you don't know where to point it, or what you're using it for, you can end up shooting yourself in the foot or killing your sisters or brothers."

Young citizens often grow up in the "ghetto" facing environmental problems with family and friends. They often discover themselves as individuals outside of the poor community.

What will it be? golden-fanix © all rights reserved.Complete
