Grassroots, Conscious Hip-Hop

The mission of Project Element is to expand educational and entrepeneurial opportunities for students by providing a positive and reflective infusion of hip-hop music and culture.

Activities:

Activities for Project Element focus on Hip-Hop community and culture as it relates to the individual, youthful worldview.  Participants learn about the 4 major components of the culture: DJing/Turntablism; Breaking; MCing (written/freestyle/spoken word); and Graffiti Writing.  Each semester the group of selected applicants explores hip hop culture by creating original music, and gaining entrepeneurial and business skills preparing them for a potential career in music.
