BIG CHAINS AND GREEN THANGS
GOING GREEN LIVING BLING VOL (2). THE GREEN HIPHOP MOVEMENT., Recreating the Image of Wealth,

Through years of youth empowerment and activism we have brought together over 4000 people. Young people were engaged in conscious, holistic HipHop, as well as self and community awareness through discussion and activities. It is now our goal to continue and expand this work. The focus remains the same, a chance to educate the youth through discussion, with the help of various peers and elders. We wish to have a discussion targeting serious and somewhat sensitive issues that need to be talked about. It is also our hope to decrease the generation gap, getting parents of the community to attend and stay involved. In addition to self awareness we will also focus on the environment and recreating the image of wealth, through holistic knowledge and ancestral acknowledgement. We invite you to take part in this all-new professional venue for enlightened performers with powerful words about healthy endeavors for the mind and the body soul.
