Rap Music Empowers Youth
Community based organization launches Rap music program designed to empower “at-risk” inner-city teens.
Los Angeles, CA, April 02, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The Urban Youth Empowerment Foundation, an organization which uses urban trends and popular youth culture to empower youth, will be introducing a Hip Hop Artist Development program for at-risk youth living in South Los Angeles.
Recognizing that Rap music is a dominant form of expression for inner city youth, the Foundation has developed a free, 6 weeks program for aspiring rappers between the ages of 14 and 21. This program will begin by teaching participants about the history of Hip Hop culture and follow with a wide range of topics ranging from songwriting techniques to live performance. With an emphasis on positive and socially conscious lyrics, participants will work collectively on their own songs to be unveiled and performed live at the culminating Hip Hop showcase.
The Foundation’s founder, Sebastien “Dome’ Elkouby says, “It makes sense to use Rap music, the one thing that has our youth’s attention, to address the extremely important issues that affect them everyday. This will show that Rap music can be used in a positive way, contrary to what many believe.”
