Uniting Conscious Social and Active minded Hip Hoppers
Rap and Guns UK (pt. 1)
A BBC documentary from 2003 (I think) looking at the problem of gang-related crime in black communities and the connnection with music (specifically Hip Hop & Garage). The sad thing is, six years later, the music hasn't got any more positive. If anything it's got worse - especially with the rise of Grime. More importantly, our young men and women are still fighting and killing eachother for 'control' of towns and cities, and our community leaders and conscious-types have not really stepped-up to provide credible and sustainable ideas on how to tackle these problems.
