This workshop series focuses on the creative expression of poetry, rap, music production and vocal coaching. Participants are encouraged to create from a place of authenticity. These workshops, held on Wednesdays from 4-6 pm, run year-round with virtual elements available. Youth hone their storytelling and music production skills as they collaborate with teaching artists to produce an annual album which culminates with a listening party with live performances. This program also integrates a workforce development model as well as an exclusive beat-making and audio engineering mentorship offering called Beats 2 Rhymes on Thursdays. Youth Artists come for the studio time and stay for the guided on-ramps into the music industry.
